Yes, but it is shifting. The recent special elections are good data points, though special elections draw very motivated voters.
To your point, I think media bans will be next (Trump has floated many times). If they can ban all media except Fox and X, MAGAs will be able to lie with impunity continuing to control the narrative.

- RickJWagner 2y agoIt’s also true that the Democratic Party is at record levels of unpopularity. Only 7% are very happy with the party.
- matwood 2y agoGood point. The Democratic Party has a ton of issues with platform and messaging. But, I would vote for them over any MAGA person at this point and I think the polls/special elections are starting to show that shift at scale.
