Yes, unless one is a hypocrite. As a minimum, it wipes off that righteous indignation smirk from certain people's faces.
Nothing is going to cause the demise of the U.S. as I know it like the loony left.
I know you don't actually see the two situations as analogous, do you? While there is concern that a foreign entity attempted to sway an internal election, the primary issue is that another American - one who is now President - collaborated with that entity in an attempt to sway the election.
Put another way, both Russia and the US did what you correctly believe every other nation does - attempt to bend foreign powers to favorable circumstances. Trump, on the other hand, looks to have collaborated with foreign powers against a fellow American. Not at all the same thing, and you know it.
As for the loony left, I'm not at all sure that a bunch of kids that get mad when they hear insensitive words are at all as frightening as a bunch of old white guys that think it's a great idea to make it hard for poor people to vote.
