It's wild that the liberal take from 2016 is that Russian disinformation is the only reason people oppose democrats.

If only someone did a study to see how valid that was. If only. But I guess we'll never know. For some reason this text is clickable. Can't figure out why, but its definitely not because it's a link to a study about this very subject.

EDIT: I accidentally clicked on the text and quoted it

We demonstrate, first, that exposure to Russian disinformation accounts was heavily concentrated: only 1% of users accounted for 70% of exposures. Second, exposure was concentrated among users who strongly identified as Republicans. Third, exposure to the Russian influence campaign was eclipsed by content from domestic news media and politicians. Finally, we find no evidence of a meaningful relationship between exposure to the Russian foreign influence campaign and changes in attitudes, polarization, or voting behavior.
