Here’s one lesson of 2016 that we can’t ignore:

Just because you see through Donald Trump’s bullshit, you can’t assume it isn’t working.

Trump has the raving dolts on his side claiming that the FBI fixed an election that THEY WON:

But even more disturbingly, he has Democrats defending an FBI that likely cost Hillary Clinton the election.

As @katherinemiller wrote:
Donald Trump has an unusual kind of power: He reveals weakness.

Nothing changes the basic facts of our current crisis:

1. Russia interfered in our elections.

2. Trump campaign embraced that interference and, at least, implied it would reciprocate it.

3. Now Trump is rewarding Russia, most namely by refusing to enforce sanctions.

Trump's tactics build on standard GOP skullduggery.

What’s new is that Trump realized that a party made of up millions of people who “believe” Barack Obama faked his own birth don’t just tolerate lies. They love them. They want to be lied to.

But just because the GOP’s whole argument here makes no sense, you shouldn’t assume it isn’t working:

Trump “won” with less of a share of the vote than Mitt got when Mitt was crushed by Obama.

And now he’s effectively co-opted the entire GOP into a conspiracy to obstruct justice.

And the disgust he generates in you is registered in many Americans as disgust for the process.

Trump’s power depends on his ability to get voters to stay home while keeping his opponents fragmented against him.

And these just happen to be the exact things Russia wants, too.

All I'm saying is we can't ever underestimate Trump's ability to divide us, again. And please consider not repeating or retweeting him.
