I think the Russians have been meddling in our politics for a long time. The internet and our divided politics have given them greater opportunities. I think they have agents spurring on the far left to create as much chaos as possible in this country. It has already been established that Russian agent funded Trump rallies and then funded the violent attacks on them by left wing loonies. They want this country flooded by millions of illegal immigrants criminals and terrorist. They want chaos, violent riots in the streets, armed mobs, marshal law, civil war. They can't compete with this country economically or militarily but they might be able to destroy it from within or at least render it impotent. Unfortunately the democratic party and their allies in the deep state seem to be their willing "useful idiots".
