> why claim he's going to go full dictator when even the biggest cable tv watching idiot on the planet wouldn't believe you. > who is this nonsense trying to convince? it's called hedging your bets. the media hopes that such fear-mongering will convince people to elect trump's opponent. however, in the event that trump wins, they also want to make sure that there's a large number of people who are absolutely petrified. these people can then be manipulated into doing protests, political actions, and even acts of terrorism against trump. all of this helps generate ratings for the news media.  truthfully, i think a lot of the mainstream media actually wants trump to win again. i think a lot of the polling data showing kamala harris in the lead is actually fake, designed to get luke-warm voters to feel like they don't need to go vote for her because she's going to win anyway.  why would msm want trump to win? simple, it's all about business. cnn, msnbc, fox, etc all had their best ratings of all time from 2015 through early 2021. people couldn't get enough trump content on the news whether they hated him or loved him. as soon as biden was in office, interest in politics dropped like a rock amongst the american people. even for online political streamers like hasan, nick fuentes, or vaush, their viewership and superchat donations plummeted.  trump in office is good for business if you're in the media. and of course, if he is in office, and there are crazy people who hate him willing to go out and protest and riot, well, that's just good content. makes for more eyeballs on the tv, means more people will see the ads. it's literally a win-win-win
