    Of all the absolute mountains of propaganda produced every election cycle, we're supposed to believe the minuscule fraction of Russian stuff (probably .000001% of total propaganda produced) was somehow decisive. No one has *ever* explained how that even remotely makes sense.

        I'd like to know why FB was "the wave of future campaigns in 2012" when Obama was using it, but it was suddenly high treason in 2016 (and no one has ever really explained what the treason was).

        How about a congressional study to find out who influenced the election more - Russia or the social media companies? And how much each received by the parties.

        How about a congressional study on democrats rigging the primaries for Clinton? Shouldn't they AT LEAST be cut off from public funds? They want to rig it, they should pay for it. As things stand, primaries are nothing more than free advertising for their preselected candidate.

        Easy. Trump won by only 78K votes spread across 3 states. Doesn't take much to convince voters to stay home, vote 3rd party or cross from Repub to Dem.

        The propaganda about Russian propaganda alone was several magnitudes bigger than the tiny IRA spam business.

        It’s not supposed to make sense. It’s just supposed to play a movie of Trump as a traitor.

        The Russia propaganda narrative has always been a red herring. Not only are there mountains of propaganda every election cycle, but voters weigh a multitude of factors (personal, familial, social, emotional, rational, etc.) in the voting decision, not a ridiculous meme or two.

        Notice that no example of the mesmerizing vote changing social media is ever presented. How those posts just changed votes in PA, MI, WI, and OH where Killery lost and not in all the other states where she won as expected is also a mystery that never gets addressed.

        Notice also those 4 million+ Gary Johnson voters that made it so she won 5 states over Trump are never mention. Maybe they were immune?

        Also, if that minuscule level of effort somehow compromised the US election, then every subsequent and prior election is now cast in doubt and can be presumed illegitimate... is that really a stable epistemic model?

        This doesn't follow at least with respect to every prior election. Social media in its current form including amplification leverage did not exist.

        One of the insidious side effects of the Russiagate narrative is to subtly legitimize the billions of dollars worth of propaganda shoved down our throats every election cycle. The unspoken message is that meddling in elections by oligarchs is fine as long as they aren't Russian.

        We're listening. The difference is we're also looking at what's been presented as evidence and have found it wanting. That part is what's known as critical thinking.
