Some people only have information from one side of the story. If Trump wins, he will likely try to mimic what both Putin and Orbán did with the media.

Wait, you think the US has had independent media at any time?

It will have even less so, but the only "bad media" will be the ones that doesn't use "trans groomers" and "illegal migrants" in their headlines...

So: start organising to fight fascism immediately. We've been saying this for years: you don't fight fascism at the urns. Unionize, make collective grassroots power, read leftist theory (the only ones who managed to stop fascism in the last century).
