re: Did we ever figure out how Russia “hacked” the election

And anyone who doesn't think the only reason it's a big deal is because Trump won is fooling themselves. This has been going on for decades. The only reason it's an issue in 2016 is because the candidate the entire political and media establishment was in the bag for lost to a reality tv star.

I disagree.

I think as technology advances, it becomes increasingly easier to influence public opinion - which is reaching a critical mass with social media now. I think it's a big deal when other nations try to influence our elections in a clandestine way. Perhaps we got this, but considering we're depending on the government to protect our democracy from external threats, I doubt it.

But you boys that are all like, "Just relax and enjoy it", "It's BEEN happening", seriously give me the creeps and make me suspect that you're part of the 'problem'.

Yes, I would bet this board is lousy with 'foreign interests'. It's not like this website isn't pretty well known by now.
