When all is said and done, it was just some propaganda being spread. No votes were changed, no major events to close down polling stations, etc. We have far worse figures in our own country fighting against any semblance of democracy.
But it became a great excuse for Democrats who fucked up. It'll be another excuse by establishment candidates to target anti-establishment figures. Whether that's used by someone like Bloomberg against Bernie or a never-Trumper against Trump.
