anymore. Millions have been watching fox news and listening to right wing radio. Some of it is not accidental. FBI Russia probe includes right wing media such as breitbart and infowars. Some of right wing propaganda has been heavily influenced by russian money.

Comey was 100% spot on when he said that Russia is after America; external influence on the way we think. It's not about hacking voting machines per se. It is much deeper - very targeted and clever propaganda changing people's views. This is way more damaging with no easy way out.
Distorted understanding of freedom by millions.
