Just A Question. Speaking of Election Day 2016. The DU Website Was Hacked And Hijacked That Day.

6. The video that played on the site was full of Eastern bloc white supremacist imagery.

If you look up "DU hacked 2016" on YouTube you will find the video that was played by the hackers. It's illustrating a bombastic song which has the chorus "I know a hero will come." Very poorly done cheesy animation shows Trump dressed as Napoleon, with long blond hair, riding a rocket holding the head of a stereotypically Arabic-looking man. There are also images of European fascist leaders from the 20th and 21st century. And there are caricatures of George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, and others making them look evil. There's a hapless caricature of Bernie Sanders being kicked or something. There are images of African figures "invading" Europe. The video is highly eurocentric, which makes me think that it was created by an Eastern European, rather than someone in the U.S. (A U.S. creator would have included more imagery of Latin American immigrants, I think.)

Also, the video - which was not created by the hackers but was apparently already on the web as an illustration of the song by some group I've never heard of - had imagery superimposed on it by the DU hackers. A cartoon of Trump in a car with a gun saying "Get in faggots we're making America great again." That particular slur, used in that way, strikes me as very old fashioned and out of date, leading me to think that the image was created by people for whom English is not their first language.

This doesn't prove that the hackers were Russian but I think they were.
