(7,377 posts)Many of us knew there was significant Russian interference. (Putin hated Clinton because she called him out on Russian elections).
Too many did not believe Russia was a significant threat to our elections.even though there was a lot of openly pro -Russia comments and commentary on progressive sites. Jill Stein was partying with Putin and General Flynn in Russia yet too many who were eager to vote for her and what they thought were their values.
Clinton had to introduce the term alt-right in a debate, the pro - Nazi movement was barely being covered even though it was clear that Don, Jr was involved with them.
Our FBI head, a Republican, provided a convenient false report for the final October surprise.
The difference now is that in 2016 Clinton was almost alone in understanding what we were up against. Over the next 8 years many people have been working hard behind the scenes to stop Trump and that work is now paying off.
