The funniest thing about Russiagate is that they couldn't come up with anything beyond, "the Russians are sowing discord by posting online about America". Not even hackers changing numbers or paying politicians off in a lobby group, just saying bad things to change people's mind in an election year. And liberals eat it up.
Russiagate is such a hot button topic for them too. They don't seem to ever ruminate the specific details of the "significant" role American intel agencies said Russia played in the election. And they ignore how that "significant" role becomes so minor with adequate context. I like to remind them that CNN gave Trump something like a billion dollars in free media in the 2016 campaign. And every media outlet was feeding on the "Trump news" trough to grab eyeballs, sell ads, etc.
"The CIA isn't all powerful, controlling all elections throughout the world, you're being a conspiracy crazy, and denying the agency of the local people around the world"
Also
"Putin controls Trump and his cultists. Xi controls the youth of America through TikTok and video games. We must ban all disinformation"
Voting is still an essential tool of the bourgeois so they pretty much can’t say someone actually changed the outcome of the election otherwise elections themselves would be unnecessary.

Russia's greatest crime in 2016 dwarfs the billion dollars of free media for Trump
Then of course they say it’s okay when the US does the same to Russia, China, Cuba and every bad country US doesn’t like

Liberalism folks.
I’ve heard both of these a million times, not uncommonly both from the same person
They claimed Russia hacked Hilary's emails but that turned out to be a lie.
They claimed Russia was behind Wikileaks as well. Of course libs ate that up without question.

seems like they are losing in the marketplace of ideas
