I'm watching some war history. 100 years ago right now was insane. It almost gives me hope for the future, how things can manage to turn around (with enough dead people.)
It may be other powers have had enough time to produce some of their own social media weapons and defences, that it might not be all about Russia.
However, if Trump loses you can bet he'll be crying vote manipulation. I can't see a peaceful transition of power, unless it's one of his kids he's handing the reigns over to.
