We may not be aware that there's a third player in this, along with Russia and Fox Entertainment. SBG and their "must run" segments handed down from their corporate head offices.

You might be a tool of Russian propaganda IF....

You believe(d) Hillary is/was worse than Trump.

You thought there would be a mighty revolution to benefit Progressives if you voted against Hillary.

You didn't consider what a Trump presidency would do to the courts, especially the Supreme Court.

etc....
