So mentally-weak people oppose Muslim immigration because Russia, just like mentally-weak vote Trump because Russia -- Its a fallacy: "All of my ideological opponents are mentally-weak, but its not their fault"

I think weak-minded people immediately jump to a straw man attack instead of a legitimate rebuttal.

Your article linked directly to the 'monkey cage' section:

{Over at the Monkey Cage blog, Lucan Ahmad Way and Adam Casey recently summarized some of the most prominent cases of Russian meddling in Europe }

Let me quote it for you:

>But it’s not at all clear that Russia’s efforts made any difference

>And even in these, a closer look shows that Russia’s actual influence is far from clear.

>But there are reasons to be skeptical of the claim that Russia swung the election for Trump.

>[Russia] hasn’t gotten much for its efforts — and these efforts have often backfire
