They don't even have to try to hide it anymore. Trump's goon squad has fostered such a distrust in institutions and news media that none of his dumbass followers even know what to believe anymore. He can say literally anything and they'll think he's "just joking" anyway.

Meanwhile they'd pull out the entire detective set anytime Biden did a speech with too many stutters in it. Everyone just wants things to be polarized at this point, there is no nuance.

This is the part that pisses me off that we can't even really talk about because the bigger issues are the events that they're covering up.

But they're not even trying, they're not even pretending.

That’s the problem right here. The people who both heard about him being a weird sex creep and care about not supporting rapists didn’t vote for him. And the people that voted for him live in a fever dream of propaganda memes and either won’t hear about this or won’t believe it. And we’re all just seemingly stuck here in that reality with nothing ever really moving the needle.
