Russia was them finding a way to cover their asses while continuing to push for war and intelligence funding.

They lost because Hillary was even worse than Trump. She represented the utter moral bankruptcy of the Democratic party. She and Trump together represent the bankruptcy pf the entire electoral system. The continued full court press against free speech (as though media owned by six corporations should have a monopoly on myth-making) is truly fascistic and deeply disturbing, but I have hope that the disgust they continually generate with their delusional hubris will spawn fairer,more decentralized media. Our problem here is not right wing myths, it is capitalism and the emergent effects of the consolidation of power.
