They don't need him anymore. The media is now squarely right wing. Sure, they report stories they don't like, but then they quickly move on. Like, sure he was convicted on 34 counts but that's old news, why dwell on that when there's a fresh hoax involving bill clinton and hunter biden!

If he goes, they will hail president vance or holy mike as a return to normalcy and the fascism will continue, just with less daily drama.

No one in that entire crowd believes in democracy or free and fair elections, they all believe in doing whatever it takes to "win".
