      Is there even any evidence that these ads are really directed by Russian government, rather than just some individual from Russia? Because otherwise, calling it “Russian election meddling” is dishonest.

        American dishonesty that conveniently redirects responsibility for the anti-democratic nature of the state to foreign scapegoats? Couldn’t be.
