My point in posting this well-known example was to refute your assertion that people are not swayed by dishonest political marketing.
Because I can’t read minds, I can’t point to a specific Facebook ad and say that it cost Clinton 2,000 votes in Wisconsin. We can’t know the actual impact. We DO know the Russsians did it, and we can infer with high confidence that they did it to benefit Trump, and they didn’t think they were wasting their money. How many people in swing states bought into Pizzagate? 1,000? 100,000? Probably somewhere in between.
So yeah, there are a LOT of people gullible enough to swallow ridiculous ■■■■■■■■■ But your earlier point is well taken. They were always going to vote for Trump.
Considering the trifecta of stupid congresswomen currently serving in the House as democrats, I would guess Venezuela or the middle east could sponsor the DNC.
How do you propose to enforce such a thing internationally? Do you want our government to block all content originating in Russia? What is the material difference of them doing it on facebook or on a site based in Russia in English if I can still access it?
Oh he didn’t prove a negative, shocking. What the report did say, was he couldn’t find any evidence they did. Which is all you are supposed to get out of an investigation, did they or did they not find evidence it happened, no sane and rational person expects them to prove it didn’t happen, that’s not their job. We don’t do guilty until proven innocent in this country.
Pelosi, Vicente Fox plot to defeat Trump, Mexican calls Trump voters lazy drunks
Of course, that’s (D)ifferent. Virtually every EU leader disparaged Trump at one point or another as well. Somehow that doesn’t count as foreigners trying to influence our election though. Even if they did it in publications with a hell of a lot more market penetration than facebook ads.
