when you consider the razor thin line Trump won by any swaying by outside parties certainly may have effected the result.  but to think the same shit didn't go on by other interested party in the other directions just being blind.  no one would ever be able to rpove the effect of outside parties to eithers results.

Let’s not forget how she spent over a million on fake online trolls to defend her

Good points but I'm not sure I'd call 74 electoral college lead razor thin.

Yeah it’s like trying to say you won a football game just because you had more field goals

Some close states and yes a few here or there swing the election but 74 lead is significant and we won't bring up illegal voting.

So most messages were targeted at conservatives and right wingers...

Exactly who the hell else were these people going to vote for?

The Russians aimed particular energy at activating conservatives on issues such as gun rights and immigration, while sapping the political clout of left-leaning African American voters by undermining their faith in elections and spreading misleading information about how to vote. Many other groups — Latinos, Muslims, Christians, gay men and women, liberals, Southerners, veterans — got at least some attention from Russians operating thousands of social media accounts.

Facebook ads :lol:

Numbers.

Together, the 20 most popular pages generated 39 million likes, 31 million shares, 5.4 million reactions and 3.4 million comments. Company officials told Congress that the Russian campaign reached 126 million people on Facebook and 20 million more on Instagram.

The Russians operated 133 accounts on Instagram, a photo-sharing subsidiary of Facebook, that focused mainly on race, ethnicity or other forms of personal identity. The most successful Instagram posts targeted African American cultural issues and black pride and were not explicitly political.

While the overall intensity of posting across platforms grew year by year — with a particular spike during the six months after Election Day 2016 — this growth was particularly pronounced on Instagram, which went from roughly 2,600 posts a month in 2016 to nearly 6,000 in 2017, when the accounts were shut down. Across all three years covered by the report, Russian Instagram posts generated 185 million likes and 4 million user comments.

More racist thoughts of AA from the likes of liberals like Vince.   AA's were the only ones apparently fooled by the Russians.   You libs are a piece of work and by far the most racist in our society trying to hide behind the idea of helping them because the can't help themselves.   All other races of left leaning voters weren't fooled.

"Undermining their faith in elections."  :lol:  Just how exactly did they prove or come up with that theory?

If you follow any MSM news on FB the comment sections on them are a battlefield of fake accounts from all sides

The excuses have changed. 

You aren’t saying it didn’t happen or wasn’t effective. 

Now you claim both sides did it.
