“The Russians are accused of trying to influence an American election. And how did
they propose to disrupt our normal way of doing things over here? The
answer is obvious when you think about it. They
determined that they would tell the truth. When something
like that erupts in the middle of a presidential campaign, nobody
knows where to look.”
— Doug Wilson
Who knows what the Russians are trying to
do, or if they actually have anything at all to do with the latest
WikiLeaks infodumps? This is the craziest American election to occur in my lifetime, one in which
interests are so wildly polarized that even the social and electoral havoc brought about by external meddling sounds like good news to some Americans, at least in the short term.
But more to the point, Wilson is right:
truth is a terribly disruptive element.
