   I think that they never expected to get as much backlash from the 2020 vote steal, I reckon they thought they'd get away with it and no one would even notice, and J6 really took them by surprise. it's really difficult to do covert ops in the modern world, they couldn't even blow up Nordstream without everyone knowing it was them 12 hours later

     @STP yeah, they control the media but it doesn't matter anymore cause they already burned through all its credibility by lying about everything. anything power touches just turns to shit instantly. alternate media has always been a swing factor, Obama won big in 2008 by capturing the internet too. its much safer for regime to now glom onto the trust people have in podcast bros like Rogan and Musk to launder some vicarious legitimacy

     The problem is their lack of control of the media - they have the MSM in their pockets, but these are getting more irrelevant by the day.
     A couple of decades ago you had newspapers and TV stations with different opinions, but if you really needed an OP, you could control them and people would trust them.
     Today they're all the same and no one trusts them anymore.
