I agree, he is propped up by Fox. It is also crucial for me to remember that his margin really was small, and that the primary driver for right wing gains worldwide in recent elections was inflation. The second driver, in the US and Europe, was immigration. Although I thought Biden was very good, he was tone-deaf on immigration until the end. In other words, I don't think Democrats could have won, but it was no landslide. Inflation and immigration will be slipping as key points.

I say these things because it is crucial to keep hope alive. Cynicism and hopelessness are seductive. I know this from personal experience. There are many, many ways for MAGA to crash, and it is far more likely to crash if we value our own mental health as our top priority, and stay steady.
