1. An uncomfortable reality that, whenever I mention, brings out the Russian trolls. People who "protest voted" or stayed home to protest were the original primary targets of the Russian disinformation campaign. In other words, many of the people now raging about Russian.....
2...scheme are the very ones who fell for it. Yes, there was an element of "yay Trump" for Trump republicans, but the primary element - as I reported in 2016 - was to split the democrats, to convince the Bernie supporters of vast conspiracy theories that made...
3...no sense, to convince them that there was no difference between Clinton and Trump, to convince them that Hillary was drooling over the prospect of dropping bombs. These were the same people who ranted about TPP who, when I asked them what it was, couldn't answer the....
