Mainstream media can continue trying to promote the narrative that Trump is some sort of a clown, and many can fool themselves by going along and believing it.
The reality is that Trump is the leader of a huge political movement, if not the biggest in the history of the United States. This foregoing fact is evident in voter support and all the massive rallies. That same mainstream media also uses the phrase "Trump supporters," which they usually follow with some negative baseless connotation or comments. Certainly, Trump supporter is not a completely wrong reference. However, the media knows that this usage of the phrase is to create a desired narrative. Obviously, whoever controls information can control and create the narrative that people believe or perceive as real, although it may only be a holographic fake image created by their words. Trump supporter is a true statement, but what is the bigger truth is that those supporters are believers and/or co-believers in the same ideology and movement. That ideology and movement will seemingly not be going anywhere soon. If anything, it will continue growing and expanding. Moreover, the one's who may not be going anywhere is the mainstream media that has been challenged by Trump since day one, and has lost much credibility. After all, who doesn't know and understand the phrase "fake news" at this stage? Death and life are in the power of the tongue....

Think about all the anxiety media can create, even in cases like Covid-19, for example. We know the numbers, but depression and suicides have also gone up due to lack downs, unemployment, and such. Now ask yourself, was much of this for political reasons?
