the ruskies would have supported bernie's election in the same way. i'd like to see republicans take this more seriously since it won't benefit them every single time.
The reason I’m not taking this seriously is not because “my guy” won. I’m not taking this seriously because the idea that rando Facebook ads - the vast majority of which Facebook says were never viewed or weren’t viewed until after the election - actually carried a single state for Trump is laughably absurd. I’d be much more concerned about actual illegal voting or rigging of voting machines.
And again, the larger context is important: liberals are losing their crap over foreign meddlers unfairly (and this is key: insignificantly) putting their thumbs on the scale for Trump (and Bernie), but have absolutely no problem whatsoever with the vast majority of American media and the administrative state carrying water for the Dems in a much more meaningful way for the last several decades. Hypocrites.
But Russian Facebook ads.
That’s beyond the pale!!
