Nate Silver's bizarre Twitter behavior continues

13. He's accidentally right, then.

I don't follow Silver, so was unaware that he was arguing that Russian disinformation didn't impact the 2016 election. If he's now inexplicably implying that it did, I would agree that this tweet is "bizarre". Apparently, his devotees seem to think that this is simply a joke. Whatever. I don't do personality cult shit, so I really don't care about this internecine battle being waged.

However, crap like the retweeted post from this inane account, begun early and accumulating throughout the campaign, absolutely did influence the outcome of the election. And yes, plenty of political scientists agree with me.

n.b.: I doubt that Trump will be running in 2020 anyway. I don't doubt that there is already a well-coordinated Russian campaign to, once again, disrupt the next election regardless of the candidates involved.
