Who cares that Russia was involved in electing the president*

[bpositive]

To be honest, most of the younger generation does not know who Putin is and whT he represents.

I don't get the sense that they care and I bet my bottom dollar that the republicans polled this and felt that it was a good gamble.

I think that we collectively are going at this wrong. We should be more explicit- the Trump was helped behind the scenes by the president of Russia - an evil person who killed people he disagreed with- doesn't that scare you? Etc.

The message has to go deeper than Russia or Putin for any one to care.

1. Interesting thought

I and many on this board remember the Cold War and what it meant. We remember the crazy of the conservatives and the red menace.
It's a curious thought that the younger generation just doesn't have a clue about any of it.
I curse the American education system.

7. Yep

Ask any younger i.e. 20 or 30 something about what is wrong with Russia or Putin and you will be surprised by the answer. Ask them about ISIS and they will know what evil is.

16. My twins are 16, they understand exactly what happened and are in disbelief that

NO ONE has the balls to stand up to these criminals and remove them from power.

2. My younger generation sons know full well who Putin is

I think you sell that generation short.

8. This is anecdotal of course

From what I have heard and seen

3. Well CNN, MSNBC and Fox

certainly don't care

5. Trump envisions himself as rich as Putin one day.

He is following Putin's lead but in the USA rather than in Russia.

6. If you voted for Trump

You probably don't care.

9. Well, if I recall correctly

Many uneducated and ignorant people voted for Trump, seems reasonable for them not to care about something they probably know nothing about.

10. I'm sorry but telling us to forget that a Foreign government bought and swayed our election

Is NOT going to happen. Those who don't get what treason is should be educated. We should NOT be saying let's move on, nothing to see here.

It's unfortunate that is how you interpreted my post.

My message is that we are saying Russian and Putin and people are hearing Blah blah blah.

We need to improve outer message and how we say it so that people truly get what that are for or against.

15. They hacked our fucking election.if they're too stupid to get that saying it another way isn't going

To change anything. You can't fix stupid. You can't make stupid listen when they literally don't care what Shitler does. For fucks sake putin is more popular with repigs than our own government . That pretty much tells rational people all they need to know. It's not the message.

14. Putin offended us. He made fools of us.

I'm not afraid of him. I want him to pay.
