Around the Bush Jr years I was really into thinking the Green party was onto something big, until I learned economics. I am so happy I went back to school and learned why the economics of the fringe groups economic theory are garbage when applied to the real world while also learning about data analysis and the economic modeling/statistics that can be applied to almost anything as long. As you can find data.
That was why learning about the attack on our democracy the Russians did by getting Trump elected was such an eye opener to me. I knew the trolling going on (from this website mainly and all the rabbit holes that people's links take you down), and the
data modeling that they were doing, but I always thought it was just racist and evangelical Americans. It was like the ending of 'Usual Suspects' where all the pieces of it clicked in place for me. All of the arguments with my family about contrails not being real, and the government not being out to get them, my brothers hatred of Obama and not being able to listen as I tried to explain the economic trends to him, to finally my dad's nonstop anger towards me in 2016 leading up to harvest in October. We have not really talked since.
This attack is very real and ongoing. And Trump is not just stuck with Russians (
Saudis/
Religious Chinese Cults/etc) doing his attack on our electorate, he has his domestic troll
Parscale. They Russians just get to do the illegal stuff that Trump is being watched and can't pull off as easily.
From the Bi-Partisan Senate Report on the Russian (continued) attack on our democracy:

I am pretty
sure the Supreme Court is deciding if it is or not now.
