So what if he does? Are Trump's declining rally numbers due to Twitter? Is 140 uncensored characters truly the dividing line between democracy and fascism in your mind?

The public's distrust of the media began with the Iraq War. Once the Bush administration had burned it all up to push their agenda, they couldn't use it to push their agenda anymore. Social media? Social media they could push all day long, until they burned it up. Do you really see the social media landscape of 2022 to be at all analogous to the social media landscape of 2016?
