    If smear campaigns built on proven falsehoods are so impactful as to sway an election, I don't see how anyone can predict a strong future for the rarely-United States. The American political system was ripe for exploitation, and no one with the desire to make structural changes has the ability to, and no one with the ability to make structural changes has the desire to.

    And what do we do? Spend our time talking about how Russia was so horrible to pander to stupid/misinformed/proud people who would accept their statements without even questioning it.

    At this point, I'm eagerly awaiting the rest of the world's turn as the human experiment fails and we return the world to better species than our own.

    127 million Facebook dupes, some right here on this forum. Amazing. If only Hillary had thought of it. Where’s Al Gore when you need him?
    The $1,500 worth of facebook ads that flipped the election to Trump and forever changed the course of American history!

    You seem proud of this accomplishment. Are you proud?

    Jesse Jackson used to talk about his "Rainbow Coalition." It's like the Trump voters have their own. The racists, the Russians, the dupes, the evangelicals, the Hillary haters...all living together in one big Alt-Right tent.

    funny about this "alt right" thing. There's a company close to my work that is called Alt-Net. In the last few months, I noticed when I drove by that it is now called All-Net. Coincidence? I think not.

    Jenna Abrams, Russia’s Clown Troll Princess, Duped the Mainstream Media and the World

    Roseanne Barr and Michael McFaul argued with her on Twitter. BuzzFeed and The New York Times cited her tweets. But Jenna Abrams was the fictional creation of a Russian troll farm.

    The polls are close, but the state has consistently gone blue and I'm not sure why that would change now.  Trump hasn't become more popular.  But Hays isn't necessarily correct.  Gillespie hasn't campaigned on white identity politics.  He has stayed pretty straight to what he is... a lobbyist turned candidate.  Chris Hays is way overstating the issue.
