The somewhat annoying thing that some Liberals do online where they blame Russia for everything bad that happens. It started shortly after the 2016 election when people started believing that Trump was a puppet being controlled by Putin.

If this is the most unhinged conspiracy theory they've ever heard of, they have lived a very boring life so far. This is just a bog-standard political delusion, and it doesn't even include the supernatural stuff that makes a truly unhinged conspiracy theory weird as shit.

'Some liberals' - you mean all of blueanon? Democrats, Msnbc, cnn, etc.

It's unhinged because this sort of Russophobia may very well lead to WW3 and nuclear armageddon. Also because it has no basis in fact whatsoever. It's every bit as unhinged as the 'The Jews rule the world' one.

Russia manipulated the results of the US election via a twitter mind hack. A couple of guys posted a meme that was so powerful that everyone who saw it wanted to vote for Trump.

No seriously. That's what people believe.

Ah yes, all three of those links say that people believe:

Thanks for linking opinion pieces from Rolling Stone, though. You're clearly more informed than me.

Russia stole the Presidential election by hacking DNC and Podesta emails for WikiLeaks to publish so Russian asset reality tv star Donald Trump would win? But also it was Russian bots and memes that did the trick? LMAO.

In reality, Clinton stole the primaries from Bernie and made sure her opponent would be Trump who she believed would be a weak opponent, by getting her media mates to constantly talk about him. This 'pied-piper' strategy was a massive own-goal. So she blamed Russia for her own failures and of course everyone ran with it.
