Not much to add beyond the diary title. The MSM has their hair on fire about Russian interference in our electoral systems, but seemingly fail to make the connection/distinction between tactics and targets. I have little doubt that the rethugs have been using Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign as a tutorial useful to shape even local elections across the US, but certainly for the 2018 midterms. Sadly, I wouldn’t be all that surprised if the DNC, as well, has looked at the purported Russian meddling as a “lessons learned” exercise: How best to time and thus shape social media threads in advance of or during campaigns and elections?
We are SO screwed...
