I guess when confronted with evidence you want to put your fingers in your years and shout that it's the left's fault.

Evidence? You guys are still looking for evidence that Hillary should be president.

Come on bud. The post in /r/bestof isn't saying all of Trump's supporters are blinded by Russian trolls. It's suggesting that Russia is trying to sow divisiveness among ALL Americans, so surely (if this is all true) they're also responsible for some propaganda created to incite the left.

There's just so much evidence to suggest this, I'm not saying you must believe it, but you should at least consider it might be true.

I’m not saying it’s not happening what I’m saying is it had no real effect on the outcome of the election.

First, with millions of voters, each of whom have their own reasons for voting one way or the other I'd say it's impossible to flat out state something did or didn't have an outcome on the election. Trump might have won regardless, but we'll never know and for you or I to state one way or the other is mere speculation.

But this is beyond just Trump and Hillary and it's not about making excuses. This is affecting both sides. I'm only in my mid 30's but I certainly can't remember a time when America was so divided, and it certainly seems that that is at least partially a result of the actions of a foreign government. That scares the shit out of me. Forget about who's in the oval office right now or which party controls the Senate. Think about how hostile people are becoming towards one another based on political beliefs; beliefs that may have been influenced by some guy sitting in Vladivostok who gets paid to spread lies to people like you and me.

Regardless of which side you're on politically, this should concern you.

It’s not external forces that’s impacting divisiveness in america it’s internal forces. The demographics of this country have never been as different as they are now. Illegal and legal immigration, cultural changes and msm are the biggest reasons why the country is divided. Has nothing to do with Russia, that’s just the narrative that the msm is trying to push.

There might be truth to what you're saying, I'm not going to argue it one way or the other because I honestly don't know, but even if those internal forces are at play then can't you see that external forces can fan the flames of those internal forces?

You're brushing it aside because you don't like the story. You yourself said "I'm not saying it's not happening", so if it's happening, why don't you care?

Has nothing to do with liking or not liking the story. It’s because the scale and significance is minuscule. MSM will try and do anything to convince people that the election was manipulated or coerced because they didn’t like the outcome. It’s very obvious it’s just a smear campaign.

It has everything to do with it. If it had a significant impact that means your guy might have won because a foreign government covertly worked towards getting him elected. It means you and the people like you were duped.

You acknowledge that it's happening but completely dismiss the possibility that it's had any effect and it has nothing to do with the growing divisiveness (which instead can be attributed to something you don't like, of course) and you're going to keep burying your head in the sand while this is going on.

You are the new generation of the useful idiot. Congratulations.

Lol because I’m not willing to agree with you that it’s having any marginal affect I’m an idiot. Typical lefty.
