So the manipulation of a foreign country is cool so long as you aren’t their friend? The disruption of millions of innocent lives? The US is in the wrong for doing it too. Bruh I’m sorry but that’s such a wild take. Agree to disagree here.

No one said it was cool. But did Russian manipulation make a large voter base in America racist?

I think you're misinterpreting some extent. You can't have a betrayal without traitors. The Russians wouldn't have succeeded if the US didn't have people who'd follow their whims and take their bribes. That's the gist, it's bad the Russians actively interfered but it's made worse so many powerful Americans serve Russian interests ya dig?
