If you think Trump is President because of 100k of Facebook ads placed by the Russians then you should look a little harder at the situationI just think people are smarter than that and anybody whose vote was influenced by an ad they saw on Facebook is far and few in between. Plus, we have freedom of speech in this country. Anybody could have legally posted those ads. While it may not be legit for foreign governments to post those ads, I still don't think it is an end of the world scenario like some are making it out to be.The biggest threat would be hacking and changing votes. funding facebook ad campaigns I don't think warrants an act of war. We can be grown ups and decide what ads to believe or not and we can work to expose the sources of political ads so we can gauge credibility behind the information sources.I don't really know if we can say that actual foreign interference in our election is a small matter regardless of whether there was collusion or not.
There were ads that played to people fears to help influence a vote. But I do agree with your first line.
There are a lot of people who aren't. That's why Trump is the president,
No that's not why I think Trump is president.
