So there are few distinct elements to this, that we should think about independently.
A - Is this type of advertising scary? [Really all this post is about]
B - Did Russia try to change the election?
C - Did they succeed?
My thoughts:
A - It is to me.
B - As far as I understand, this is conclusively yes, based on the fact that multiple politicians have plead guilty to collaborating. [1]
C - I don't know. For me it's not about that.

- creaghpatr 8y agoNo politician/Russian has pled guilt to collaborating (which is not a real crime) the closest thing they have charged is conspiracy to defraud and I expect they will have to drop those in the long run, you should read the charges more carefully.
- alexandercrohde 8y agoRick Gates plead guilty of conspiracy to defraud the United States, however it appears that's not Trump related. I think it may be correct to pick on some of the details, but as far as I can tell there's overwhelming evidence that Russian agents tried to influence the election, and anybody who denies that I assume does so for partisan reasons.
