The investment money came from dictators and their allies/cronies—money that they obtained illegally. Then they invest it here where they are able to legitimize/launder the money, reap the rewards of investing in companies they shouldn’t be allowed to (since they screw over foreign investors like Bill Browder), and then it puts Facebook and Twitter into a conflict of interest. No wonder Facebook and Twitter didn’t stop Russia’s influence during the elections and offered RT ad space... It’s the same reason Fox News is always screaming about Islam and jihad but carefully tiptoes around Saudi’s Arabia because one of their biggest investors after the Murdoch’s is a Saudi Prince. This is how democracy fails. It’s like hitting a boulder with a hammer. The first ten thousand times not much happens, but eventually it collapses all at once. America has allowed itself to be manipulated through political divisions, politicization of facts and science, cultures wars, dividing us by race (encouraged by Trump’s actions), campaign finance reform failures, gerrymandering, voter suppression, and our Supreme Court selling us all out and allowing corporations (including foreign corporations) to spend unlimited amounts of money in our elections. We are destroying ourselves and allowing this to happen because big oil, the Christian Y’all Qaeda, and racists have formed an alliance on the right to refuse to acknowledge reality and have then the right into a cult ideology. I hope this is a cultural bottom, but it seems like things will just continue to get worse.
