What worries me more than a bunch of trolls in Moscow is this fashionable belief in the West that democracy cannot work because people are idiots whose vote can be turned by a meme on Facebook. If people didn't vote for your party, it's because people were not attracted by your party, mkay?

Eh, it's more than people are suseptible to confirmation bias, and the meme ads on facebook re-enforce the beliefs imparted upon them by <insert preferred single "news" source here>.

May the most entertaining party win!
