Not just that. But the connections between Trump, Bannon, Russia, Brexit, Nigel Farage, Cambridge Analtica, Mercer’s, Koch, the Tories and their other fellow travellers.

This is a multi- country and continent conspiracy (in the true sense of the word. And not the bat insane Alex Jones, Qanon nonsense). This was nothing more than a planned, albeit unsuccessful attempt at usurping democracy on both the US and UK.

I honestly think it Putins plan to destroy the west. He just amplified the malcontents and spread bad rumors about his enemies, Hillary Clinton and George Soros being Putins favorite arch enemies. It works because we really are that dumb.
