I’m not aware of any time in Ron Paul’s career when he has been afraid to challenge Republican orthodoxy

My counter to that argument is: What do you think they could have said about Trump that would’ve made a difference?

For my entire adult life, there has been endless speculation as to What Will It Take to Get Nonvoters to Vote. Nevertheless, I am not convinced Project 2025 was an unknown quantity that just required more publicity to motivate the politically-indifferent or the stubborn anti-Kamala leftists

Limbaugh & Fox have always DISCREDITED the mainstream media, but IMO it wasn’t until social media that they were successfully able to replace it with an alternate reality of their own making

The problem here is that people only listen to media they trust. “Poisoning the MSM well” is how MAGA got to where they are today. And “Refusing to listen to the MSM” is how his followers got to where *they* are today.

IN CONCLUSION
“The media should stop normalizing Trump” implies that there is something that the mainstream media could say about him that would convince his cult to stop supporting him. “Sanewashing” was a real thing that sometimes happened, but it was not the main reason people supported Trump.

Again, this assumes the existence of a “shared political reality” that social media has effectively eliminated. It’s an anachronism.

6. “In the future, nobody will admit they ever voted for Trump.”
This is based on stories we hear from postwar Germany where few, if any, Germans were willing to admit they supported the Nazis.

There’s no evidence to suggest they even particularly want to do this. Expecting Fox News to turn against Trump once he becomes a liability is as unrealistic as believing his current followers will eventually be ashamed of their vote.

5. “Fox News will turn against Trump once he becomes a political liability.”
Fox News has been given ample opportunity to oppose Trump. But even they aren’t powerful enough to fight against the tide of unrelenting pro-Trump sentiment from the Republican base.

The people who voted for Trump weren’t going to listen to the MSM no matter how loudly they sounded the alarm. Both sides fully understood that Trump was going to follow Project 2025, but the Republicans simply did not have a problem with it.

4. “The media failed to warn people about Project 2025.”
Again: show me the Venn Diagram of People Who Voted for Trump and People Who Were Genuinely Opposed to Project 2025. They’re two separate circles.

Musk was appointed, not elected. We had no say in the Ascent of Musk. And “screaming bloody murder” has proven to be an astonishingly ineffective defense against a centibillionaire.

If any media outlets were sugarcoating or sanewashing Elon Musk, I genuinely don’t know what difference it would have made.

There was no shortage of media outlets telling the truth about Trump prior to the election, but they were effectively canceled out by activist right-wing outlets such as Fox News that convinced approximately 1/3 of the voting public that everything the mainstream media was telling them was a lie.

This is a common misconception based on extremely vague definitions of “the media” and “normalization”.

1. “Trump should’ve been easy to beat.”
Anyone who still claims that is true is unaware of how thoroughly social media has transformed political reality. This is as true in 2025 as it was in 2016, although back then it was still a new idea. Today, there’s really no excuse.
