It's elite-speak for

"We think American voters are dumb, especially those in the swing states this past election (but not the 2 before that when they voted for Obama). We're all smart and get our news from accurate, unbiased sources like NPR (lol!!!!), but everyone else is dumb and doesn't know how to use the internet and got influenced by Facebook ads from people in Russia. Hillary was objectively the better candidate and those of us who voted for her knew all the right facts and everyone else was brainwashed when they went to the ballot box."

Give me a break ...

No, what we mean is; Russia tried to influence the election. Which has been proven by the way. Facebook and google have both admitted to it. Nice try, thanks for playing, take your lovely parting gifts on the way out.

Who knew the majority of white women were so braindead that they voted for Trump because their husbands told them to.


Hillary Clinton: White women voted against me because the men in their lives told them to

Trump's buddies Eric Schmidt and Mark Zuckerberg "admit" Russia tried to influence the election?


Gee-wiz, I'm almost afraid to ask what else they admit to.

Yes they admit they sold ads on their platforms to the Russians. Ads are designed to influence people. It's why they exist.

It doesn't invalidate the election. It isn't even illegal or a real problem unless the Trump campaign worked with the Russians to orchestrate it. That is what the question is. If that is what Trump did, then it must be impeachment.
