I don't think it matters to Trump supporters if Mandiant found Putin hacked into DNC computers from his laptop. In what I think are Robin Hanson's terms, for Trumpists the enemy in near mode is the Clintonistas. Once the Democrats are defeated they would change again, like defeating an end of level boss, geopolitical concerns would become less abstract. This is good for Clinton though because it should consolidate her base. Democrats will be feeling more patriotic than usual. I really am not sure whether geopolitics with Russia becomes more far or abstract after the election if she wins. For my part I do not think she is a known quantity as many people have said. Familiar but not known. A known quantity is what people said about Merkel but then she became unpredictable. I have this suspicion that Trump is unpredictable in predictable ways but that Clinton could be just as unpredictable. What I really do not know is what Clinton's position is on 'the decline of the empire'. Have there been acknowledgements? Declarations? Business as usual?
