text: During this entire cluster f*ck of an investigation and media storm, I'm still amazed by how the average American is treated as a complete dolt. Set aside 2016, Russia has interfered in every presidential election for the last 50+ years. Most powerful nations have attempted to sway the outcome in their favor, and who wouldn't try when we're talking about the most influential country in history. Also, our own governemnt gets it's hand wet whenever a country holds elections, in hopes of a favorable outcome.
  
  But nooo, we must act shocked that such an act has been perpetrated and question it's motives in relation to Trump's ascension to power.  The American people are treated as fools, being told where to focus their outrage and blinded to the overall geopolitical goals every nation with the means would aspire to control. I'm so very tired of this. I feel such shame, since I'm certain the media and Democrats will show none once this whole cluster f*ck goes away.
