Somehow the major media are going to have to re-inflate that balloon, lest current Republican office holders actually accrue some responsibility for doing their fucking jobs. Lord knows we can't have that!

I agree with VarryOn's post that cutting off Trump's social media platforms has had a crushing effect on Trump's popularity. I will leave it to others to judge the collaborative culpability of Twitter and Facebook for providing those platforms to Trump for so long, and how many of the hundreds of thousands of Covid-19 deaths and disabilities can be laid at their doorstep.
