Rotary valves are more present in the musical instrument world, where they are used on French horns, some trombones, and some tubas.

Down in Palm Beach county there's still occasionally people who hang out on overpasses over I-95 holding Trump banners on the bridge over rush hour traffic. This was happening in 2023 when we weren't even in election season.

He doesn't need to have watertight censorship of outside sources to have meaningful control. The USA has relatively little censorship and we still have a sizable population that are happy to accept any old bullshit as fact, without any impetus to question or validate it.
