If the election outcome is as I expected, it should cause the large minority of the country who supported @KamalaHarris and predicted her victory to begin to question their sources of truth.
Half the country has believed that @X is filled with mis- and disinformation, and that they could only therefore rely on The NY Times, MSNBC, CNN and other mainstream media for their news. And they did.
If, however, you have been active on @X for the last year, you have known the truth days, weeks and often months before the facts appear in the MSM.
The MSM excerpted, clipped and cut to defame @realDonaldTrump while claiming that @JoeBiden was fit as a fiddle. Then when Biden’s polls collapsed, @KamalaHarris was anointed the candidate and her hagiography was written with glowing acclaim from the press. But this could not hold as she ducked the media and held fast to the teleprompter.
Citizen journalists with their phone cameras in hand captured the real Kamala forcing her to defend her record and her plans in more media appearances. It did not go well and the public demanded to learn more so @KamalaHarris had to risk more unscripted media.
The doom loop was underway with perhaps 60 Minutes as one of the more dramatic examples, even after CBS tried to save her, most glaringly by excerpting one answer to replace a word salad response to another. But the citizen journalists on @X quickly caught and outed this fraud and demanded a transcript.
As many who supported Kamala began to realize that they have been misled, they became open to Trump as an alternative, but they didn’t want to rely on the media to understand him because they did not want to be misled again.
They wanted to hear the candidate in his own words and that is where @lexfridman and @joeroganhq long form podcasts came to the rescue. When Kamala was offered the same opportunities to explain herself, she rejected them. And the voting public could only draw a negative inference.
When the story of this election is written, I expect it will be as much about how half of America woke up to the reality that they have been manipulated by the media. This should lead to an abandonment by many of the MSM as their primary source of information. It will push more people to @X, to podcasts and other empirical sources, and it will lead to a more informed public.
The other outcome I hope happens is the implosion of the Democratic Party. The Party lied to the American people about the cognitive health and fitness of the president. It prevented, threatened, litigated and otherwise eliminated the ability of other candidates for the primary to compete, to get on ballots, and to even participate in a debate. The Party and the administration used lawfare in an attempt to imprison, bankrupt or otherwise kill off Trump as a candidate. These acts are collectively grave threats to our democracy. With the highest irony in order to hide these acts, the Party accused the opposition candidate of being the grave threat to democracy.
The Democratic Party proved itself to be fundamentally undemocratic. It needs a complete reboot. The leadership should be thrown out and those responsible should apologize to the American people.

全国有一半人认为@X 充斥着错误和虚假信息，因此他们只能依靠《纽约时报》、MSNBC、CNN 和其他主流媒体获取新闻。他们也确实这么做了。
但是，如果你在过去一年中一直活跃在@X 上，那么在事实出现在主流媒体上之前几天、几周甚至几个月，你就已经知道了真相。
主流媒体摘录、剪辑和删减了@realDonaldTrump 的言论，同时声称@JoeBiden 身体状况非常好。然后，当拜登的民调崩盘时，@KamalaHarris 被推选为候选人，她的传记得到了媒体的热烈赞誉。但这一切无法维持下去，因为她避开了媒体，紧紧抓住了提词器。
手持手机相机的公民记者拍下了真实的卡玛拉，迫使她在更多媒体露面中为自己的履历和计划辩护。结果并不好，公众要求了解更多信息，因此@KamalaHarris 不得不冒险接受更多非脚本媒体采访。
厄运循环已经开始，也许《60 分钟》就是一个更具戏剧性的例子，即使在 CBS 试图挽救她之后，最明显的是摘录一个答案来取代对另一个答案的冗长回应。但@X 上的公民记者很快发现并揭露了这一欺诈行为，并要求提供记录。
许多支持卡玛拉的人开始意识到他们被误导了，他们开始接受特朗普作为替代方案，但他们不想依赖媒体来理解他，因为他们不想再被误导。
他们想听候选人亲口说出自己的想法，而@lexfridman 和@joeroganhq 长篇播客就是在这里拯救了他们。当卡玛拉得到同样的机会来解释自己时，她拒绝了。 而投票的公众只能得出负面的推论。
当写出这次选举的故事时，我预计它将更多地讲述半数美国人如何意识到他们被媒体操纵的现实。这应该会导致许多主流媒体放弃将其作为主要信息来源。它将推动更多人转向@X、播客和其他实证来源，并将使公众更加知情。
我希望发生的另一个结果是民主党的内爆。该党就总统的认知健康和健康状况向美国人民撒谎。它阻止、威胁、诉讼并以其他方式消除了其他初选候选人竞争、获得选票甚至参与辩论的能力。该党和政府利用法律手段试图监禁、破产或以其他方式扼杀特朗普的候选人资格。这些行为共同构成了对我们民主的严重威胁。为了掩盖这些行为，该党以最大的讽刺指责反对派候选人是对民主的严重威胁。
民主党已经证明自己从根本上来说就是不民主的。它需要彻底重启。领导层应该被赶下台，那些应该负责的人应该向美国人民道歉。
