Let me attempt to set the record straight on this:
Obama mishandled the Russian interference but he was in a Comey-like position where any response would have significant political consequences. If Obama had gone hard to the paint on Russia (like he should have IMO), it would have only fed into Trump’s narrative that “the whole thing is rigged”.
Trump would have used Obama’s response to Russia as a talking point and it would have been somewhat convincing at the time. “You see! I told you this entire election is a sham! Obama is abusing his power to interfere in this election, help Hillary, and blaming it on Russia. They don’t know it was Russia, where’s their proof?”
Instead Obama put his faith in the American people to defend themselves from Russian Active Measures and Trump would lose anyway. Boy was he wrong.
The most disappointing thing: Trump was so fucking obviously a Kremlin stooge from the beginning and the only person to call this out was Hillary Clinton.
Bernie didn’t say a fucking word.
Obama didn’t say a word.
No Republican said a word (they knew too).
They all stood by and watched as Trump spouted the Kremlin talking points, used the emails Russia stole to help him, and protected Russia every step of the way by telling his supporters it wasn’t Russia.
There’s plenty of blame to go around on Russian interference but the ultimate blame falls on the shoulders of the American people who got pranked in voting for a complete fucking moron.
