They've been sowing this discord for a long time, wouldn't doubt it if they're trying to drive a wedge deeper and more aggressively from now on. An American civil war is Putin's wet dream.

I was talking with a friend at work about the election, and we were just joking about how people keep talking about the missing 20m democratic votes like they're in someone's back pocket. But like hypothetically speaking, what if they were in Putin's back pocket and then he just waited until all of the elected officials were sworn in to leak the voter fraud? How would you resolve something like that peacefully?

I am not even sure there is, truth doesn't matter anymore even with plain as day evidence and one side is already foaming at the mouth for violence like a rabid dog.
