1) The "FBI emails changed the election" narrative is a thesis, not a statement of fact. I seriously doubt the average person knew or cared about this. This sounds like the news media over-emphasizing their own relevance. 2) I don't think it really matters for the point I'm trying to make. Even if Hillary had won, the election would have been close, thus showing that the support for Trump's platform was still widespread. If he lost, we'd probably just see a different right-wing populist candidate arise in 2020. The issues that led to his rise would still exist, which is precisely my point.
