but a few hundred k of Russian Facebook ads supposedly bought Trump a nationwide victory in 2016.

From the Mueller Report:
“Collectively, the IRA’s social media accounts reached tens of millions of U.S. persons. Individual IRA social media accounts attracted hundreds of thousands of followers. For example, at the time they were deactivated by Facebook in mid-2017, the IRA’s “United Muslims of America” Facebook group had over 300,000 followers, the “Don’t Shoot Us” Facebook group had over 250,000 followers, the “Being Patriotic” Facebook group had over 200,000 followers, and the “Secured Borders” Facebook group had over 130,000 followers.
According to Facebook, IRA-controlled accounts made over 80,000 posts before their deactivation in August 2017, and these posts reached at least 29 million U.S persons and “may have reached an estimated 126 million people.”

That is just Facebook.
Maybe Mike should have hired a few Russian campaign advisors. They could have saved him a few hundred million bucks, apparently.

I am not on there, but I assume it's a lot. I also assume it has very minimal effect on votes.

Seems a tad myopic to me.
Especially the Satan vs. Jesus one. Classic.
I assume you posted this for comedic value. Or, do you think voters were, in fact, swayed by them (assuming they are real)? Sounds like the random BS floating around the fringes of every election from the founding of the country. If you wanted to stop foreign governments from creating Facebook ads, you would have aligned with Trump to go after them when he condemned them shortly after being elected. Instead, you decided not to pursue them, and instead go after Trump. We all have to pick our own battles, of course, but you picked ones which show your hypocrisy.

But, you think a couple hundred k. swung Hillary voters to Trump. Lol. Even you know that is malarkey.
