The funniest thing about Russiagate is that they couldn't come up with anything beyond, "the Russians are sowing discord by posting online about America". Not even hackers changing numbers or paying politicians off in a lobby group, just saying bad things to change people's mind in an election year. And liberals eat it up.

Russiagate is such a hot button topic for them too. They don't seem to ever ruminate the specific details of the "significant" role American intel agencies said Russia played in the election. And they ignore how that "significant" role becomes so minor with adequate context. I like to remind them that CNN gave Trump something like a billion dollars in free media in the 2016 campaign. And every media outlet was feeding on the "Trump news" trough to grab eyeballs, sell ads, etc.

Russia's greatest crime in 2016 dwarfs the billion dollars of free media for Trump

Then of course they say it’s okay when the US does the same to Russia, China, Cuba and every bad country US doesn’t like

"The CIA isn't all powerful, controlling all elections throughout the world, you're being a conspiracy crazy, and denying the agency of the local people around the world"

Also

"Putin controls Trump and his cultists. Xi controls the youth of America through TikTok and video games. We must ban all disinformation"

Liberalism folks.

They claimed Russia hacked Hilary's emails but that turned out to be a lie.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

They claimed Russia was behind Wikileaks as well. Of course libs ate that up without question.

Voting is still an essential tool of the bourgeois so they pretty much can’t say someone actually changed the outcome of the election otherwise elections themselves would be unnecessary.

seems like they are losing in the marketplace of ideas
