@mattblaze when baffoon Sydney Power accused Hugo Chavez of rigging US election machines, there was a logic behind it: exec branch gains powers if there is foreign interference with elections. It’s just that her claim wasn’t very credible since Chavez had been dead for a while :-). Trump can now concoct more credible evidence and repeat it often enough that MAGA are convinced.

No, Trump does not have the legal authority or the practical ability to “nationalize” US elections, for all the same reasons he also didn’t when he issued an executive order a few months ago abolishing mail in voting. -
Let's do this.@TechConnectify To Sum up Maria Ressa:
The conspiracies from your strange uncle used to be limited to the family dinner table at Thanksgiving. Now, they get amplified bny for-profit solcial media and used by politicians to help drive their anti-fact agendas.
This is bigger than the current regime. Bush Jr (Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz/Cheney) used same technique to repeat lies on Iraq until people thought they were true. But your current regime has upped the ante by orders of magnitures to the population to support their agenda and anyone not supporting those lies labeled as anti patriotic (or domestic terrorist).
Your videos have a goal of providing facts. Your current government has a goal of driving agenda with conspiracies and discredit any facts that are in the way of their agenda.
This ad from Icelandair shows how the culture of conspiracies and not beleiving in facts has permeated US culture:

Let's do this.@TechConnectify Watched beyond the "fake ending".
Disinformation is at the core of the problem. (your videos provide facts, but others use disinformation to sway people to support their agenda (such as windmills causing cancer or killing whales).
Suggest two videos:
Lies Spread Faster Than Facts'—Maria Ressa at the UN #UNGA80 | United Nations

09:55 https://youtu.be/cll7gqE3TlgMrs Ressa was imprisoned in Philippines based on lies amplified on social media to make her look like she had committed crimes.
If you followed the Cambridge Analytica investigations, the real companies behind it, SCL, had helped prop up regimes by using social media to spread lines against opponents. Used same technique for 2016 elections against Clinton. Russia Wagner is same.
