My take, which applied to 2016 and 2020, is the mainstream media was and continues to try and expose the radical extremism of Trumpism. My contention is and was this was and is done to convince rational people Trump is not fit to be occupy the WH. It backfired in 2016, when it became apparent Trump was precisely who the Republican base was had been looking,so for them it only solidified their support, which became loyalty, and ultimately cultish fealty.
Doing the same in 2024 will not work. The Base (MAGA) does not see the corruption, or the criminal running for office, but a savior sent by God to save America from the Satanic Democrats. Now with the help House Republicans, Republican state 2020 deniers running election boards, and a perceptively old, and optically weak man running against Trump, I can now opine and predict Trump will be elected.
I will become an enemy of the state, not by choice but by Trump fiat.
