But moral actions require a moral universe. Yes, much of the blame belongs with Trump — a dangerous and, to be brutally honest, sick narcissist with no empathy for anyone, not even his son, who might be headed soon to Allenwood — his family and his sycophants who stop at nothing to amass power and wealth. But let's be even more honest. Much as ABC's Amerika predicted three decades ago, the Russians were able to mess with our presidential election in part because we let them. The Trump family doesn't know much outside of crude marketing, and were desperate for Hillary's emails because they knew there was a willing audience eager to gobble up that material, people who shared a belief that hatred for the Other, for those know-it-all liberal elites, meant so much more than caring about where the purloined emails came from. Sure, the Russians could build up a "content farm" of 1,000 people churning out fake news about Hillary, but that ploy wouldn't have worked if your American uncles and cousins and neighbors weren't so excited to share their output on Facebook.
