Hacking

The Obama administration was warned of Russian interference in 2014 and they were aware of Russian hacking in the summer of 2016 but in both cases chose not to take action. The first episode was before Trump had gotten involved and the second was when everyone thought that Hilary would win. Once the election was over this took on a new importance and many voiced grave concern that it would, “destroy our democracy”. It is one of those issues, like climate change, that gains or loses importance as the political climate changes. Most people are smart enough not to get too involved in the day to day tumult of politics but for people like me it just makes my head spin.
