Well, yes to the effect, but much of the US embraced it earlier than the election, since they didn't perceive what they thought was lost as having anything to do with hegemony (even though a big chunk of it was). The common historical trend for both political parties is that they externally sought US dominance abroad, but the Republican party suddenly discovered that a huge chunk of the population simply don't care about US hegemony, and most of them vote Republican and most of them vote Republican, to the party's own surprise.
It doesn't help that a lot of the political elite treated US hegemony treated as something like an axiomatic given, a natural state of affairs that required no tending to.
They could have kept it going had they'd not done ALL of the following
Hollow out our industrial base and ship it to Mexico, China and everywhere else
Allow unlimited numbers of unskilled immigrants to compete for the leftovers
Begin the process of hollowing out the service sector as much as possible, shipping those to India
Allow massive numbers of H1B1 immigrants to take as many high skilled and highly educated jobs as possible, so that Disney and Google can pay even less to their workers, while firing the American ones they already have
All with increased automation, up to and including cashier and cleaning jobs, some of which I honestly think should be outright illegal
Allow and even encourage Chinese IP theft, willfully engage with obscene tech transfer demands fo China
Allow and encourage permanent warping of the costs to go to College for Americans, up to and including vast amounts of funny money fuled foreign students, jacking up the cost to insane amounts
Allow and encourage "foreign investment" to distort a brutally damaged housing market
Allow and even force the development of ridiculous housing suburban projects, instead of smaller, but definitely affordable housing, and allow for certain assholes to buy up trailer lots to jack up the price of living without improving anything
The Bush Tax Cuts and the debt they produced, which produced significant inflation, further cutting the bottom out of the standard of living and resulting in longterm real wage decreases, and extreme concetrations of power and wealth upwards
The Republicans and Democrats both participated in this, and that list specifically is what has wrecked the White Working and Middle class, but it did severe damage to the Black Working and Middle class as well, but for them? The War on Drugs, mostly the war on pot, coincided just as Blacks were enjoying more enforced civil rights and were getting more opportunities, and the increased competition for Working and Middle class jobs kneecapped them.
If you were to eliminate half of that, or just say, eliminate the Bush Tax Cuts and all of the shipping industry outside of North America part, an enormous amount of people simply wouldn't care. Eliminate or severely curtail the housing crisis, and force a ratio of affordability and heavily restrict practices that were large scale loansharking, and politics wouldn't have gotten half as so vitriolic.
But it was all of it, at once. Maybe they didn't notice that it wasn't foreign adventures that brought the USSR down, but the internal economic situation. Had they managed some sort of economic reform and kept to it from the 60s on out, the Cold War might still be going on.
As far as the "Muh Russia" stuff? I have seen it, and its no wonder I never noticed anything. Nothing they were posting or producing was anything that wasn't already being said, everywhere. So it was literally nothing. Like five extra guys at Woodstock selling weed and LSD. Yeah, might be CIA, but its hard to tell with thousands of others doing the same fucking shit
Prove it.
Chess won the 2016 election for Russia. They undermined and exploited the US system.
Russia did nothing of note, said nothing that wasn't already being said, its like Al Qaeda claiming credit for all the deaths of a Typhoon. Everybody was already pissed about everything, and Hillary looked to be on deaths door half the time. Could Bernie have won? Maybe if Bloomberg had ran like he threatened to if it was Trump vs Bernie. But Trump getting elected was pure spite, the kind of long simmering spite that was building up before Putin ever came to power.
