Russia's main goal was not limited to getting Trump elected. Since the cold war, it has always been to dismantle western liberal democracy.
This article illustrates the brilliant manner how Russia is trying to achieve their goal.
I challenge everyone, from every "side", to read the entire article. It is not that long, but very informative.

Russian disinformation is not just about President Drumpf or the 2016 presidential election. Did they work to get Drumpf elected? Yes, diligently. Our research has shown how Russia strategically employed social media to build support on the right for Drumpf and lower voter turnout on the left for Clinton. But the IRA was not created to collude with the Drumpf campaign. They existed well before Drumpf rode down that escalator and announced his candidacy, and we assume they will exist in some form well after he is gone.
The IRA generated more social media content in the year following the 2016 election than the year before it.
Russia has dug in for a long campaign. So far, we’re helping them win.
