I'm having a hard time keeping track, because it feels like the goalpost keeps moving (it IS moving, right?):
First, they complained about the Russians hacking the DNC servers. It turned out the DNC did that to themselves and it wasn't the Russians at all, so then they started complaining about them 'manipulated the election.' As a response they forced some FARA regulatory requirements on Russia Today (I don't understand why this doesn't run afoul of the 1st amendment, but whatever), but the BBC CNC, and other foreign state news networks don't have to do that; and it's also not hypocritical for the U.S. to run Radio Free Europe? Then shortly after they change their story so that 'manipulating the election' basically means Russians shitposting on Facebook. Is that really the complaint? But then when other foreign political advocacy groups do it it's totally O.K. (I know you're thinking of Israel, but almost every country from Albania to Zimbabwe has some such group in the U.S.)? Then it turns out it was actually the Democrats who made bots pretending to be Russian bots, and that the Russians barely did anything at all in comparison they changed their complaint to...what the hell is it now? I feel so gaslit by this shit I don't even understand what these people are complaining about anymore. Not to mention every single accusation by the Democratic party ends up with the Democratic party themselves being the guilty party.

It's pretty simple
Ask your self this:
Are Us lawmakers coerced to sign a petition that they will support russia before they get elected?
Is the us media controlled by russians?
Is the federal reserve controlled by russians?
Did the countless wars in the middle east were for the benefit of russia?
The secret police dancing as americans were jumping out of the twin towers not to be incinerated alive, where they russians?
