It feels like every pick of this administration is just someone who has a motivation for corruption.

> Liberals were promoting people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who has extreme views, they were "cancelling" anyone who dares to think differently about anything: from climate to abortion or covid vaccines.

That you think we should not be "cancelling" anti-vaxxers and your implication of we should listen to anti-vaxxers (because they "dare to think differently", as if this is about their dyed hair color or something) says a lot about you. And that you use "canceling" in quotes because you can't point to a real thing "liberals" did.

> As a result they kicked off from public discourse huge groups of electorate, polarizing society.

OHHHHH, the liberals are the one who polarized society? Not Trump from the start saying these people are my enemies? Your right-wing bias is showing

> There were topics that you just could not discussed, twitter (pre Musk) was looking to it, same Facebook or Youtube (still, good luck having a monetized film with the forbidden word like Gaza Strip), similarly mainstream media.

And there are now topics that can't be discussed on Twitter (post-Musk) like the word "cisgender". And Facebook and Youtube had TONS of anti-vax misinformation, anti-abortion groups, and general right-wing algorithmic boosting. That maybe "some" topics aren't allowed then but a ton of others still are is you trying to pick one spoon out of a pile of knives and saying its full of spoons.

What other topics could not be discussed? The value of white supremacy? How homosexuality is a choice? That the Jews run the world? Be specific please.

I don't agree with or support the overall position of the GP, but feel the parts their argument you attack are not the important parts. The Dems most certainly did sabotage their own campaign. Incredibly weak leaders and they kept telling people who are really hurting and falling farther behind that "everything's great; the last 4 years have improved dramatically!" when it just wasn't the case for the exact same people Trump told he would make everything so much better. He lied, won't help them and doesn't give a shit about the vast majority of citizens, but he told them exactly what they wanted to hear. The Democrats were incredibly tone-deaf, and massively discounted 1. how many people were mad and 2. how many were willing to plug their noses and vote for Trump.
