[snip] It is telling how little “stolen” elections have been mentioned since Trump’s second victory. But it is within these lies that Trump’s chaos calibrates itself, inside a unified and powerful ecosystem of rightwing news, online content and viral disinformation that has grown more powerful throughout this era, spewing the same falsehoods in unison day after day, on repeat, for years. It is the “political technology” by which swathes of the population have voted in effect to anoint a king in the belief it will amount to more freedom. …
In the immediate aftermath of such a seismic election, there is perhaps a tendency to paste one’s own grievances or ideology on to an explanation for why it unfolded as it did. Having interviewed hundreds of American voters – and non-voters as well – I am confident there is no single explanation or answer.
