The statement in question is confrontational and dismissive, using phrases like 'you really think that happened?' and 'you're that stupid?' which are intended to belittle the reader's intelligence. The tone is sarcastic and the intent seems to be to discredit the idea that the FSB needed polling data for their activities. The content of the statement is a critique of a theory regarding the use of polling data by the FSB and the effectiveness of social media ads in influencing an election.

    I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.
