Again, I've argued with Tibs on this for years.
He is so upset at Russia "inflencing" voters through social media, but BY FAR the greatest influence to voters is from our media and social media companies. Yet that is FINE because propaganda by Americans against Americans is just part of the election process. I don't understand how self-described "globalists" expect propaganda and election favoratism and influence to have borders. Hell, they don't even want REAL borders for REAL people, but somehow they want borders for the internet. Can Tibs explain that logic exactly? Real borders don't matter but borders between Russian facebook posts and American facebook posts need to be enforced by all means necessary!
Notice how the one benefitting democrats is "good" and the one benefitting republicans is "bad"? Yeah... I thought so.
There is an old saying. Actually, there are several. But here's one. The sane define 'peace' as the absence of a threat. The left defines 'peace' by the absence of opposition. You see that play out in anything they say or do. All of them. They're totalitarians. All of them. "I don't like smoking - therefore, nobody gets to smoke." "I don't like meat - therefore, people that eat meat are savages." "I'm uncomfortable in my own skin - therefore all of society must accommodate me.". And anybody that even allows a thought to the contrary pass through their minds is a 'hater'. The sig line below bears this out.
BTW, the OP isn't somebody's opinion. It is the result of scientific research. Y'know how the left worships science. This is science. And it says that Google materially impacted the election. Not Russia or anything Russian - Google.
Here's the data...

And here's some reaction from the scientific community...

Note that the data and reaction well preceded the 2016 election, and indeed questioned what effect such chicanery might have on 16.. Certainly such would not cause the totalitarians any concerns about subsequent election outcomes... because... well, that is what they paid good money for.
