What was hacked in 2016? The minds of 1/3rd of America. Conquest of USA without a shot.

If we have 1/3 of the population that no longer believes anyone except one man then we are in an extremely dangerous situation. Russians manipulated, strategized & managed to hack the mindset of 1/3 of the American public. It's a war victory without firing a shot. @MalcolmNance

But the taking/breaking of those minds began a lot earlier than 2016, and a lot of the attack came from inside.

Some in our own media began softening up those targets long ago.
