Are you actually trying to claim Russia did not interfere in the 2016 elections??
Is that really your stance?
im not saying they didnt but the reason donald trump got elected is because liberals like hillary clinton and obama have sold out the working class americans since at least 1990s if not before then.
so i think the red scare deflected from that fact, and its also pushed the country to the right which is also bad for labour. if you recall history, american communists, socialists, and unions were responsible for FDR passing the new deal and for the unionization rate going up to 35%. they were swiftly destroyed with the red scare of hte 1950s i believe. reagan and bill clinton really pushed the country far right.
there was alot of hype about the russians in the media and it was just that.
what the american liberals and right wing have in common is they both externalize the blame for the nations woes. the real problem is money and power. not outsiders like ruskies and mexicans.
