Even completely irrational beliefs are unshakable if the alternative is the pain of feeling bad about yourself, or crediting your enemy with being right.
No offense, but there is a mountain of evidence. You just choose to ignore it.
I didn't choose, the person that wrote the article chose.
I can see how those who are happy that Trump was elected are made very uncomfortable by the suggestion that maybe he wouldn't have won without the influence of Russia.

Trump should never have publicly dared Russia to publish info from Hillary's email server.
The latest spin on “Russia stole the election”
Still not a scrap of evidence on Russia. Why does anyone even listen to NPR anymore?
1. The Russian government broken into the DNC headquarters' computers and published technically legal, but very fraudulent and unethical dealings of the DNC in sabotaging Sanders's campaign. This act is fine, as it's perfectly fair for Russia to influence the election and to whistleblow even if their intentions are not good.
Broken into or hacked? It's very possible this was a LEAK. Could be Seth Rich, or the Awan Brothers sold it to Russian Intel.
And the followup lawsuit by Bernie Supporters where the DNC argued they had no contractual obligation to be impartial, could ignore primary/caucus results, and could and did anoint Candidates in backroom deals.
Nonetheless, none of this stuff diminishes the significance of a sitting U.S. president being compromised by Russia. The intelligence community is going batshit over this and rightfully so.

The time has been long overdue to embrace Russia as a friend rather than an enemy.
There is zero chance of Trump going to prison. No high ranking politician in the U.S. has ever gone to prison or even been convicted of a crime. Evidence is irrelevant. Politicians have an unwritten rule that no high ranking politician will ever be treated like a commoner and will never be subject to being caged like a commoner.
So do you think the - sometimes extremely hateful and aggressive - rhetoric against Trump by many politicians is just political theater?
Well then you should get your impeachment soon.. Or not if there's no evidence.
Plenty of people believed Obama could do no good because he was a nigger Democrat. Many Republicans voted against his policies even when his policies where literally the Republican policies from a few years ago. Plenty of right-wing conservatives accused Obama of ridiculous things like being a secret Muslim and hating America simply because he was a black Democrat.
Despite all this fake outrage at Obama, there were plenty of bad things Obama did. One could criticize Obama extensively for those bad things which has nothing to do with the fake outrage by racist conservative rightwingers.
By the exact same token, any reasonable person would criticize Trump for a plethora of legitimate problems, and such criticism would have nothing to do with the fake outrage by social justice warrior conservative leftwingers who hate Trump because of what they think he symbolizes.
Tell me, are you really so foolish as to think Trump is a good president? Seriously?
Your analysis is completely wrong. No entity can self-police, especially not the government. Impeachments don't happen or fail to happen because of legal right and wrong. They happen or don't because of politics and nothing more.
We don't know how much Trump is entangled with Russia, but only an idiot thinks Trump is not at all entangled.
However the question was with so many Dems calling for impeachment (Maxine Waters etc.) and pretty much 90% of the media against him why would you think he cannot be impeached?
Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath about a bj
Trump, who has pretty much everybody against him
2. Only a single Democrat has actually called for Trump's impeachment. That's hardly "so many".
Bill Clinton was impeached for being an effective president. His impeachment was purely political. He absolutely did not lie under oath. That is a complete falsehood.
Oh yes, because conservative media never wrongfully attacked President Blackie McBlackass. They never tried to make him look bad.
?
1. The Russian government broken into the DNC headquarters' computers
Dan8267 says2. Only a single Democrat has actually called for Trump's impeachment. That's hardly "so many".
You may want to research this again, I count at least 3 (Speier, Moore, Green).
How is this different than saying the narrative against trump is a falsehood?
But since no evidence was provided
They did, but I'd say it pales compared to the Trump firestorm.
Dan8267 says1. The Russian government broken into the DNC headquarters' computers
This has been proven to be an absolute lie, due to transfer speeds. Metadata has shown the email files were copied to a flash drive DIRECTLY from the servers inside the DNC. There's zero evidence the data was hacked from a remote location. This is why the DNC won't let the FBI look at their computers.
You're only saying that because this time it's your team being attacked. There is at least legitimacy to attacking Trump on Russia. I say this as someone who advocated strongly against Hillary being elected. Any impartial person will acknowledge that the Trump scandal is a real one and a grave national security concern.
That would still constitute breaking into computers. Any unauthorized access does regardless of how it's done.

That could mean somebody on the inside - Rich, the Awan Brothers, etc. - got the info and then passed it on or sold it.
1. Trump obstructed justice by interfering with an FBI investigation. This is a cold, hard fact.
2. Trump and his campaign perjured about ties to Russia and meeting Russian government officials. This is also a cold, hard fact.
3. Trump may be compromised by blackmail and/or business deals with the Russian government or government officials.
Each of these is a serious matter. The only one that is questionable is the third, but the suspicion is certainly reasonable and the consequences dire.
