I don't really like Trump but the way he irritates some of the worst, most fraudulent people makes me root for him.

Yes, that's how I feel, too. I forget who described themselves as "anti-anti-Trump", but I found that pretty relatable.

Also TV makes the most impact for 'ordinary' folk
Then you have X and Facebook, YouTube and alternatives like Rumble and Odysee

X or Twitter has outsized influence because so many media members use it and it's the best medium to get real time news or breaking stories
We saw the outsized influence of Twitter in October 2020 when NY Post Twitter account was suspended and all links to their story was suppressed or hidden
The most important function of Twitter is to debunk mainstream media such as CBS, ABC, NBC, NY Times, BBC, etc
