If you were swayed by the Russians to vote for Trump can you please explain how?

Apparently, the Russians pulled a fast one on some of you.

Please take the time to freely admit that you fell for their nasty tricks.

We promise not to judge but we really need to take this seriously. For real.

I didn’t need Russia to tell me that Hillary Clinton was one of the worst candidates for president in history.

I will admit that outside forces swayed me to vote for Trump. Only it wasn’t the Russians, it was the US media. I knew whichever Republican candidate they complained about and criticized the most would be the correct choice, and it seems my analysis was spot on.

I drank a 5th of vodka before I voted. My finger swayed back and forth from Hillary to Trump for a while until I remembered I had a joint in the car when my finger slipped and I accidentally voted for Gary.

As long as the Dems are a party of identity politics and PC policing, I will never give their platform a serious look. I don't need Russians to tell me the obvious.

Putin wanted me to have hope for America to be great again (for some reason), and he succeeded bigly.

Russians made Hillary a corrupt and despicable bureaucrat who rigged her own party’s primaries.

Then Russians made the MSM launch the most vociferous and ugly smear campaign against a candidate i’ve Ever seen.

Then Russians forced the Democrats to embrace crazier and crazier policy positions in order to pander to their fringe and push moderates away.

Then Russians made BLM and Antifa and other pseudo-terrorist organizations destroy parts of cities and attack innocent citizens on national TV.

Then Russians made the establishment from both parties pull out all the stops to try and stop Trump, from fake dossiers to using government agencies to spy on his campaign.

It’s obvious.

Guess the Russians set all of that up when Obama allowed some of them to train in the US starting back in 2012.

On Facebook and Twitter, Russian fingerprints are on hundreds or thousands of fake accounts that posted anti-Hillary Clinton messages.

Sometimes an international offensive begins with a few shots that draw little notice. So it was last year when Melvin Redick of Harrisburg, Pa., a friendly-looking American with a backward baseball cap and a young daughter, posted on Facebook a link to a brand-new website.

“These guys show hidden truth about Hillary Clinton, George Soros and other leaders of the US,” he wrote on June 8, 2016. “Visit #DCLeaks website. It’s really interesting!”

Mr. Redick turned out to be a remarkably elusive character.

No Melvin Redick appears in Pennsylvania records, and his photos seem to be borrowed from an unsuspecting Brazilian.

But this fictional concoction has earned a small spot in history: The Redick posts that morning were among the first public signs of an unprecedented foreign intervention in American democracy.

A Facebook post, by someone claiming to be Melvin Redick, promoting a website linked to the Russian military intelligence agency G.R.U.

The DCLeaks site had gone live a few days earlier, posting the first samples of material, stolen from prominent Americans by Russian hackers, that would reverberate through the presidential election campaign and into the Trump presidency.

The site’s phony promoters were in the vanguard of a cyberarmy of counterfeit Facebook and Twitter accounts, a legion of Russian-controlled impostors whose operations are still being unraveled.

The Russian information attack on the election did not stop with the hacking and leaking of Democratic emails or the fire hose of stories, true, false and in between, that battered Mrs. Clinton on Russian outlets like RT and Sputnik. Far less splashy, and far more difficult to trace, was Russia’s experimentation on Facebook and Twitter, the American companies that essentially invented the tools of social media and, in this case, did not stop them from being turned into engines of deception and propaganda.

I didn't vote for either, but with all this shite and Trump having much more conservative policy than I thought he would, I'm strongly considering voting for him in 2020. Praising the fricking North Koreans is simply despicable.

I totally vote exactly how Facebook tells me too.

If you think people are so easily influenced, you can’t be possibly be for allowing just anyone to vote. It’s just that simple.

It's illegal to discuss how the Russians programmed you. If you want to know ask CNN.
