I keep coming back to the fact that Trump got all those votes in 2020 in spite of having constant negative press coverage. From what I've read his coverage ran anywhere from 91% to 97% negative, 24/7, for over fours years straight. Unlike Biden or other democrats, Trump never needed positive press coverage of any kind. And he never once got positive coverage for any sustained period of time. With his own social media, not only would he not need positive coverage, he wouldn't need any coverage at all from the democrats. His own site(s), apps could generate the necessary traffic, with some help from sites like this one. For someone like Trump, he doesn't require constant propaganda support to bolster his message. He doesn't need Facebook,MSM,Twitter,Netflix, etc support. He didn't need it in the past and got more votes than any Republican in history. He wouldn't need the social media presence of a Facebook or Twitter either to run in 2024. Something maybe a 1/5 the presence of Twitter would work.

The press coverage argument seems very weak to me. Now the fraud argument, that's a very strong argument.
