I was sure it would be at least a week before we had definitive results,
that they would be very close, and that there would be multiple challenges.

It was never close. That was just another MSM lie so it would be
easier to fix the result again. But Trump was *so* far ahead that any
fix would have been easily exposed as such. It was just too risky to
even contemplate.

The polls were pretty much bang on; that _someone_ would likely sweep
the swing states was known for weeks, months. The scenarios where swing
states got split were statistically unlikely.

 It was insane to have old Joe in the WH given the state he was in.

He was fine when he had the time to work through the problems he was faced with. He'd been making speech errors all through his career, and he really wasn't in state to produce instant responses in a debate.
Trump doesn't have that problem. He refuses to study anything in detail, and improvises off the the cuff all the time, in part by lying, which he does a lot.

Seems the US only woke up to his deterioration in that first live TV
debate with Trump. But it was no secret to the rest of us that he'd
been in a bad way for at least 2 years before that.

Cursitor Doom's favourite right-wing fantasy factories might have been saying that, But only people addicted to implausible fantasises - like Cursitor Doom - took them seriously.

The MSM covered for him very well.

More of Cursitor Doom's implausible fantasies.

Can you imagine them doing that for Trump?

They fact-checked him extensively from 2016 to 2020. and found that he lied a lot more than previous presidents. He's unlikely to be any more
accurate in his second term.

This is why fewer and fewer people pay any attention to the legacy media nowadays and get their news from other sources.

Fewer a fewer right-wing nuts bother reading stuff that isn't curated for their pervserse tastes.

Zerohedge has run some
amazing exposes that were vehemently denied and mocked by the MSM -
but they were subsequently proven 100% correct. They've saved my lilly
white arse more than once, in fact.

Not that you can cite a single example. You may have got stories from them that played well with friends of yours that share your perverse tastes, but Zero Hedge exists to serve a lunatic fringe market.
The Murdoch media and Fox News cater the more numerous market of the moderately demented, but they are in the same business.
