Bookmark this one: A commenter who uses the nom de plume “Democracy” responded to a discussion on Diane Ravitch's blog about Putin and Russia interference in our elections. Some commenters were belittling Putin interference in our 2016 election, as they do on the Sunday morning news shows on the regular, or since Barr sabotaged and scuttled the Mueller report anyway. Democracy provides quotes and links to copious intelligence evidence of Russia's active and considerable influence. The election of Trump was obviously a major coup for Putin. Good post to share when this kind of Republican gaslighting comes up, not that many people on that side are interested in any "research" beyond nodding to the blowhards on Fox but here are links to the evidentiary backup should someone actually like to know what's what.
BTW, Ravitch is a longtime historian of public education and has several indispensable books on the topic.
