    I love how the day after the election it was all “Russia pushed fake news on social media and confused the voters!” Which it turns out there was some of that, it was such an obvious scapegoat to avoid publicly admitting you botched the campaign that badly. 2016 was such a shit show

      Additionally, the GOP had been putting in the effort to crush her for decades. She was the least-electable candidate the DNC ever put forward by a landslide.

      Trump didn’t have the same level of loyalty back then. He would have failed against any other candidate in 2016.

        I keep telling people that, Hillary was literally the one person Trump could win against.

        It’s why I knew he wouldn’t be re-elected unless he pulled something. His base thinks that Trump is unbeatable because the “White House is trying to prosecute him for crimes they made up, the more obvious the Witch Hunt the more invulnerable he is!”, but it’s clearly echo chamber bullshit, guy’s been a walking punchline since day one… he’s just one that’s no longer funny because he’s threatening our lives.

        The way there was zero talk about it until about a day and a half after the election (just long enough to hold some emergency meetings and get some approvals then align on the strategy) I have a suspicion it was a known secret and they decided out some known agents as a scapegoat for the abysmal failure of the DNC. Y’know keep your enemies closer and all.
