By the way, this might be a naive question, but is there a reason that Trump can go around accusing people of electoral fraud left right and center without just getting sued into oblivion for defamation?

Fuck off. The media need to push back against this bs that Trump wasn't dropping bombs during his presidency.

"Never dropped a bomb in his life - what you talking about?"

I wonder about this, i guess it's so vague and he's not really making any specific allegations about named people. But I do see things online and on twitter from Trump supporters that I feel are surely actionable... I mean if someone is on twitter and they say "Biden is a paedophile" can't they sued? Or is it just generally not considered worth suing randoms on twitter?

Back to that Naomi Wolf (or whoever) piece, at the end s/he says
Then you can tell your grandchildren that you floundered when the weight of uncertainty was on your shoulders instead of standing tall and manning the meme cannons.

Which I think is quite indicative of the whole Trump machine... how they won and now how they're gonna lose, if they haven't grasped that the battle has moved off the internet and into real life and that you can't shoot down real life people with a "meme cannon".

Supposedly some conservatives are dropping Fox and switching allegiance to OAN and Newsmax. I'm hoping the result will be a splintering of the right, but if they all just move to the latter two then it's a big worry. They almost make Fox look reasonable. Also Newsmax were built up by people like Jacob Rees-Mogg's father and the family of an ex-CIA director.

Sounds like an ideal vehicle for continuing the patriotic struggle against The Elites and The Deep State.

Here's a taste of the kind of organisation Newsmax are,

Media Matters reported that during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Newsmax sent an email to its subscriber list asserting that "the WORST thing you could do is get a vaccine when it becomes available" because "vaccines are one of the biggest health scares of our lifetime—a scam perpetuated among the American people." The email encouraged recipients to instead do something "far more effective" by subscribing to a health newsletter for $39.95 per year. Once recipients signed up for the newsletter, they received a sales pitch to purchase a dietary supplement with "an advanced formula targeted to support your immune system health."

And here are some of the people who've worked with them,

Mike Huckabee: Host of Huckabee (shared with TBN)
Sean Spicer: Host of Spicer & Co.
Steve Bannon – Former host of War Room
Herman Cain – Was slated to host a show for Newsmax TV but died of coronavirus disease before making it to series.
Bill O'Reilly – Former host of No Spin News with Bill O'Reilly
Alan Dershowitz

Newsmax are going hard after Fox. They were giddy over the news that Judge Jeanine just had her show cancelled. I've just spent an hour looking at their clips.

You've got to think that - assuming the world stays around long enough - these people are basically gonna die off soon right?
