Jim Goad on Russian “election hacking”: “If you want to talk about the popular vote, you still wind up looking dumb”

Aren’t you the same smarmy, sprout-nibbling, endlessly smackable coastal bubble babies who mocked Romney in 2012 for alleging that Russia is our biggest enemy? Didn’t Obama mockingly tell Romney, “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back” to gales of laughter and applause? (…)

The only evidence I’ve seen of collusion to influence this last election was that between the American media and the Democrats. There is currently NO—and I doubt there ever will be—evidence that the Trump campaign and the Russians actively colluded to sway the election.

And so what if they did? If some allegedly moronic failed businessman with bad hair was able to team up with Putin to slay the media/Democratic/neocon Eternal War industrial complex, that complex apparently didn’t have its shit together in the first place and was begging to be replaced.
