If you are surprised to find out that Russia was interfering in the election, trying to influence voters in favor of Donald Trump, then I have a question for you: What rock were you hiding under for the last 18 months?

On social media, the pro-Russia propaganda coming out of the Trump corner has been relentless for well over a year. Conservatives resisting Trump during the primaries ran into and remarked on this repeatedly, finding at various times a combination of either useful-idiot white nationalists (the so-called alt-right) or suspiciously foreign-sounding voices, or both at the same time, stridently defending and praising Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump in the same breath.
