Possibly. We would have to unspin the US governments lies to gain any substantive insights on the matter. They have lied to and manipulated US citizens far more than Russia could ever dream. However, that does not mean Russia is innocent. They and others see US supremacy waning, which makes it easier for them to grab more power for themselves.
Lets begin to unspin. First, when US authorities say that Russia is trying to undermine our democracy, what do they mean? A study done by Princeton shows that the US is much more of an oligarchy than a democracy. This means the super-wealthy dominate most of the political sphere. We are a democracy only when it benefits the elites. For example, the elites want to persuade the millions of anti-gun people to use their democracy to vote for stricter gun control. But a vote that would harm the elites would have a much more difficult time gaining support.

There was an article....somewhere about Russian trolls all over social media...
Taking various sides
Our Constitutional Republic is not so weak that Russian trolls posting on social media “threaten to undermined it”
The only REAL reason for the Muller and the Russian Collusion clown show is Dems lost an election and are trying to revers the result by fraud.
Wait. When did the USA become a democracy?
Not to the extent that the American left is.
So minor subversious may be in Russia's interest but they all carry risks to Russia that someone assumes power in America that is far worse than a democracy.
How can people this ignorant get paid to write? The dumbing down is proceeding nicely.
No. But there are plenty of Americans determined on hating the USSR back into existence.
Honestly, while I wouldn’t be surprised if the Russians DID try to subvert the electoral process and undermine America’s processes, I am absolutely sure that they weren’t backing Donald Trump. Actually, if anything, Vladimir Putin with his desire to restore the USSR would if anything back Hillary Clinton if he wanted to take America down, and that’s IF he was involved in any subterfuge in the American elections. Why would he want to subvert the election process to elect someone who would squash his chances at restoring the USSR? That makes zero sense. Had I been a Russian nationalist/USSR oldie like Putin and I wanted to interfere with an American election, I’d specifically make sure that the candidate that will do the most damage to America would win the election and turn it into another globalist state, NOT elect a guy who has a chance of actually restoring America to its founding principles and thus restore America to its greatest glory. Think how the German Empire sent Lenin specifically to take down Russia.
