But, to be fair, there are other causes. The mainstream media spent four years campaigning for Trump. His name and face were in the news a lot more than President Biden, whom they more or less ignored. Even MSNBC couldn't resist talking about Trump, negative or positive, he was always there, always on the Sunday news programs, never ending cycle of inaccurate reporting, on and on. That's the consequence of losing a free press to a corporate media. Especially with a very inept and ineffective FCC.
We let them dig holes in our youth vote, Latino vote, even the black vote. Why? Where has the DNC been?
We had three weeks of confusion and panic following the debate. That was a huge problem and I think that probably cost us the election, given the margins we are now seeing.
Trump started planning and setting aside resources to get back in the day he left Washington. And while he did that, Merrick Garland frittered away the time and the energy to prosecute his crimes. That makes the term "American justice" an oxymoron. We don't send our criminals to prison. We elect them as President of the United States.
This will be the last time that happens. There will be no more elections.
