    What internet? The one algorithmically controlled by the oligarchs?

    What TV? The stations that were purchased years ago by our country’s oligarchs?

    What conversations? When everyone around them is being fed the same misinformation, and they treat anyone outside of their bubble as an enemy?

    I would not assume the average American has any idea what is going on.

      Are you suggesting that the algorithms for every website are pro-trump?

      Algorithms mostly care about profit and user engagement.
      Go check the front page of reddit and see how most political posts are about trump’s/america’s fuck ups.

        Sorry, the site that is expressly pro-Trump and has been removing comments critical of the current administration?

        Beyond that, I wouldn’t even necessarily describe Reddit as a major player in the U.S. Most Americans are either part of META’s ecosystem or X, and both of those are absolutely pro-Trump.
