I agree #1 isn't super problematic right now for the average American. I mean, I could see some people being troubled by it who feel that we need to be promoting more democratic governments across the globe (typically Republicans up until this year), but mostly it is just a pretty clear motivation of Putin.
#2 is about more than PR bumps. Getting a U.S. president to lift sanctions, refuse to support other global actions against Russia, and potentially offer military support for other Russian actions (hypothetical) would do a lot to impact Russia's bottom line.
I am not as familiar with the attempted power grid hacking, but I guess my two thoughts there are: (1) unlike the election meddling, it has not been successful up to this point; and (2) if you cannot get the president (or honestly Congress at this point) to acknowledge the election meddling with some tangible response then how do you expect to accomplish anything on the grid stuff which I'm guessing is much more difficult to prove?
