    Default Is the Russia hoax the biggest red herring fallacy of all time?

    Red Herring: The fallacy of introducing something fake to divert attention to so you can avoid the actual debate.

    When Democrats hijack and derail virtually every conversation with their debunked lunatic conspiracy theories about five Russian Facebook posts changing the outcome of an election (while Democrats ACTUALLY advocate foreign influence in our elections at every turn), they are employing a red herring fallacy. Given how incessantly they use it to change the subject on such a wide variety of subjects, for so many years straight now, does this diversionary hoax constitute the greatest red herring of all time?

    Is the Russia hoax the biggest red herring fallacy of all time?
    It certainly served to disguise Izraeli interference in the elections, yes.
    I saw a disproportionate number of American politicians visiting Izrael pre-election- but not one visiting Russia.
    Unfortunately, most Americans seem to think that having Tel Aviv dictate their policies and leadership is OK. However, a growing number disagree.

    So I've voted ' No'.

    You'll find that the Izraeli problem features very prominently in the 2020 vote- just as it does now in Trump's fascist rallies and his supporters' vilification of those who oppose neoZionism- just as you are now doing.

    What shit post. The Russians spent over a million a month on military hackers interfering in our election. They were assisted by Trump people like Manafort who provided them with targetting information. They sent millions of emails and tweets backing Daffy and harming Hillary. They actually organized and assisted in demonstrations in America. They were involved in financing, signage and organization. It was a very close election. Russia made Trump president.
