Remember the “Russians hacked our election!” hysteria – or have you already forgotten? That entire narrative collapsed under a deluge of factual evidence that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) data release was an insider job, and a compelling lack of evidence of any other Russian hacking.

Snap out of it, America: you’re being played, just as you were played by the absurd “Russia hacked the election” mania.
