I understand the phenomena that brought Trump into office, it is one happening all over the world. It is important because this is the premise by which the establishment chooses to attempt to delegitimize Trump, and deny that his actions are by mandate of the people. They are also pushing the rhetoric of violence and civil war to the point people are physically attacking people just for wearing a MAGA hat. There have also been attempted assassinations and serious life threatening assaults on Republican lawmakers. It is important because their entire argument hinges on the lie that Russia was involved in putting Trump into office, and not the mandate of the people. I agree the argument is counterproductive, but I am not one who agrees with the premise Russia had any serious influence over getting Trump elected.
