Trump’s freaking out, and it’s only Tuesday

I think you're overstating the significance of what amounts to fooling uneducated rednecks in rural America

And I know you're understating it. Russia attacked our democratic infrastructure and institutions, they poisoned our democratic debate, they foisted their preferred candidate (a walking talking human terrorist attack) on us, and they loudly profaned the very idea of democracy itself. Democracy is cheap to Russia, fanciful and worthless - for those fat stupid Americans who naively think they can be free. In Russia, the dictator lies to his people, abuses and murders them, steals their national resources and gives them to his friends in organized crime. His opponents are simply poisoned and vote tallies are simply changed.

But here, in the United States, Democracy is our very identity. It underpins who we are, it unifies us as a people. What Russia did to us is the equivalent of going to the U.K., shitting on the Crown Jewels and pissing on the Queen.

Russia's cyber efforts will evolve into data destruction, deleting databases

Sorry to break the news to you, but it looks like they may have committed such actions in this election.
