It's happened before. We already know this. It's a shame but people of all sorts were manipulated by Russian propaganda through social media. It's permeated everything. Russia's main goal is to sew seeds of division regardless of who that influences. The main difference is that one side (outside of Jill Stein supporters and certain leftists) seems to feel justifiably slighted by learning how they were manipulated, as opposed to the right who are more likely to embrace Russia and their meddlesome tactics. Ideally, it would be nice if people were wary enough to be not be manipulated at all. But that's the evil brilliance behind this Russian scheme. They don't need to hack our voting methods if they can just hack our minds like this.
