Tomorrow is MAGA’s big day. A lot is on the line. It’s faltered before; in fact, it has lost every election since 2016’s surprise, but here it is — once more at the altar.
The losses have not been entirely MAGA’s fault. Pandemic aside, the American news media and their friends in government threw everything they had against the movement for eight straight years, lying, undermining, suppressing, and cheating. The legacy press landed bitter blows and sacrificed its own popularity and credibility for the cause of beating Donald Trump. A win tomorrow would be the ultimate revenge.
Even if Trump loses, it would matter less for MAGA than you might think.
As one unnamed television producer put it, “If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means they’re not reading any of this media, and we’ve lost this audience completely.”
