Yes.

The media spent every day scrutinizing every little tick from Biden, even when he was doing things like bringing hostages home. And then Harris, saying people need to know what her policies were when she spent every speech explaining them.

Meanwhile, Trump lied, slurred words, babbled nonsense, and threatened, with little to no attention paid.

Every time Trump said crime was up that should have been called a lie. Not “untrue” or some other soft word - a lie. Same with the economy is falling apart. Or that tariffs are paid by the other country. Or that our voting system is filled with fraud.

Every. Damn. Time.

I saw an interview with a man coming out of the polls saying he voted for Trump because he owns a business and Trump is better for the economy. When asked he was bothered by tariffs Trump has proposed, he said he wasn't because the other country pays them. You should have seen his face when it was explained to him how tariffs work.

Little attention was paid to the mental health professionals who said Trump is unstable, or the myriad of people who worked with him who said he should never be near the office again. Or the economists who said his economic policies would likely be a disaster.

Disinformation won this election and MSM is partly to blame. The rest of the blame goes to our country's inability to rein in social media. Other countries do it.

And here we are.
