One of the Russian team’s major efforts was SEO - when so engaging, they had to have history + cross-references, just like every poster here has. They started by engaging contrived conversations: one person “Hillary!”, another “Trump!”, “Black Lives Matter!” vs. “Lock her Up!” ... so the fact they had posts “for” and/or “against” Trump and “for” and/or “against” HRC is simply reflective of that. Strip that away and you’re left with a pro-HRC campaign designed to sow discord in the populace. All of this and yet spent so little on ads?
This has another appearance of setups ala Papadopolous - more “Russians” tied to Trump campaign! They were actually engaged with all of Hillary’s perceived opponents, since 2014 - Bernie, Jill Stein, Ted Cruz & Marco Rubio (Cruz came close to having a shot at convention & Marco Rubio was always considered a good candidate before he earned “Little Marco”) - Trump just happened to run & win (they never thought she’d lose). But when the Russians “supported” Trump by having post-election rally in NYC the same day and the same place they had a Hillary rally - that sounds like a Scott Floval + Bob Creamer op. setting things up. And it appears the two perps that came to US got their visas under John Kerry’s State Dept.
Time for those pushing this non-existent Russian conspiracy to give up, there is nothing left of this now, there never was anything, and it makes you look pathetic.
Did Russians have opinions on the election? Sure. Did they try to influence the vote? Maybe. Did they succeed? No, what voters would be listening to their input?
People all around the world have strong opinions on American politics, but it doesn’t translate into any pressure on American voting patterns in any way, those strong opinions count for nothing really. This is what I always say to Canadians when they start moaning about Trump, “it’s none of our business, and they don’t care.”
The disappointment in those tiny snowflake eyes always gets me laughing.
