The takes about 2024 that I agree with or that validate my priors are also bullshit.
#Trump won on disinformation validated by horserace journalism that treats facts as points of controversy.

"Most American voters who had correct facts about the major issues voted for Harris. Those who didn’t voted for Trump. However, when they were blindly presented with Harris’s policies, they greatly favored them.
What explains this dichotomy and breakdown?
Dan Froomkin 'blames the press' in part for failing to inform many Trump voters when it came to the reality of the economy, inflation, immigration and crime."
