But what we seem to have that's tangible is Russia posted a bunch of fake shit on Facebook and Twitter.  So for a year, people have been hearing "OUR DEMOCRACY IS UNDER ATTACK!  WHO KNEW WHAT!?!?!?!?"  And what we've seen is a picture of Jesus arm wrestling the Devil in a Facebook Meme.  It's hard to reconcile the two things.

If you don't connect the hysteria of the initial claim with something more significant, people are going to lose faith in the people acting hysterical.

If you think that all Russia did was post a bunch of "fake shit on Facebook and Twitter" you need to go brush up on what the investigation is actually about.

The DNC got hacked, the RNC likely got hacked. Emails got leaked, there were meetings between Russians and the Trump campaign. Trump might have more business ties to Russia than he admits to. Several members of the Trump campaign have been accused of being foreign agents working for Russian interests. There's a lot of stuff being investigated.

Oh yeah, the email hacks.  That was a big one.  But the way the emails affected our elections was by exposing that the DNC was undermining our democracy.  Is our democracy more democratic if the fact the DNC was undermining our democracy was kept secret?  Maybe Russia was making our democracy better, and we should be thanking them?

I make the jokes, but I assume we interfere in every russian election, and that russia interferes in every American election.  And you can toss China into that meddling as well.  That's just how the world works.
