A thought-provoking idea
The evidence has been extremely strong that the Russian government was actively involved in our 2016 elections. They sought to damage Hillary Clinton and assist Trump. Their accomplishments were remarkable and probably beyond their expectations. It would be naive to think that it won't happen again.
As this interference has become public knowledge, there is an understandable outrage from many Americans. How can we let the Russians mess with our elections?! So, we have the Mueller investigation, Congressional investigations and many journalists reporting what can be discovered about this intrusion into our democratic system.
And yet...
The United States has interfered in other countries' political and economic systems for more than a hundred years. Consider our government's actions in Chile, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela and other sovereign nations. In our names, the government has skewed elections, assassinated political foes and installed authoritarian rulers in order to dominate those countries' regions and resources.
I'm a life-long Democrat and a proud American. I vote and I pay my taxes. I volunteer and give to charities. I try to contribute to my community.
And yet, I find it pretty rich that we're outraged that another nation would interfere with our elections. It's just another of the many lessons we've taught the rest of the world.

Hang around a little bit. Methinks shits about to get real..real fast. What evidence have you that we've interfered? And precisely, why would that be any shade of justification for what happened to us? 
you sounded like dt on the campaign trail. Touched a nerve. You take care.
