Of course.
I remember when Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter. The "journalists" gave their account of Jimmy Carter's four years of honesty and peace then said, " . . . but in the end, people voted their pocketbooks," as if to say we were wrong for having done that.
There was the Iran hostages, also. But the news did not want to mention them. They kind of screwed up. The one year anniversary of the Hostage taking was election day, but the media all ran specials about it the night before so the next night could be celebrating Carter's re-election.
Prime time hours of American humiliation at the hands of punks wearing dirty sheets wrapped around their heads. Did the media think that people would wake up and hand Carter a victory? I'd say the economy won the election for Reagan, but the hostages gave him the landslide.
In 2024, we can't expect an electoral landslide. We need a landslide among honest voters big enough to overcome the cheating, which is a tall order. Not for the sake of the Republicans, but for the sake of the Republic, I hope the cheating doesn't prevail again.
