because democrat-leaning mainstream media like CNN, NBC, MSNBC, etc. gambled over making people panic over trump and gave him fake policies like saying that he was homophobic (which he isn’t) or that he would put in place a national abortion ban (which he wouldn’t)
their fearmongering of trump won them the election in 2020 and people felt relieved about it until they realized how bullshit biden’s term was for the country. mainstream media used their fearmongering method of calling trump hitler and a nazi only in an attempt to make him lose, but since he won we now basically have 30% of the population who still trusts mainstream media basically believing that we have a fascist in power and therefore that life is hopeless for them
i think it’s disgusting, personally, to use that level of fearmongering since not only is it blatantly not true it also clearly shows to cause significant amounts of people depression and mental distress
