    Even then the right wing influence was clear, that’s not just hindsight. What was surprising to me was how susceptible people are to it. They didn’t care of the Russians or anyone else were behind it. This was a misogynistic hoax from the get-go, they just agreed with it

      Oh yeah, it was obvious that it was a right wing influence campaign. It was not obvious it would go on dominate western politics for at least a decade.
