Russiagate is such a hot button topic for them too. They don’t seem to ever ruminate the specific details of the “significant” role American intel agencies said Russia played in the election. And they ignore how that “significant” role becomes so minor with adequate context. I like to remind them that CNN gave Trump something like a billion dollars in free media in the 2016 campaign. And every media outlet was feeding on the “Trump news” trough to grab eyeballs, sell ads, etc.
“The CIA isn’t all powerful, controlling all elections throughout the world, you’re being a conspiracy crazy, and denying the agency of the local people around the world”
Also
“Putin controls Trump and his cultists. Xi controls the youth of America through TikTok and video games. We must ban all disinformation”

Liberalism folks.
I’ve heard both of these a million times, not uncommonly both from the same person
