We only have ourselves to blame. Russian influence in our 2016 presidential election? That is the age of the internet. I’m more curious about how we allow ourselves to be influenced at all.

If we read everything posted on the internet without a thoughtful process, we will be influenced by any number of opinions. Read what you want, but please, analyze it, and study it to see if it bears out for truth.
