if anything, I am getting news from a greater variety of sources now. If you and other people feel blindsided by the election and all the stuff that’s happening, it’s because you were getting your news from too narrow a source before and way too biased. 
I think the biggest emblem of everything that is wrong with our country is this woman named Gabrielle Blair, a Mormon influencer who runs a blog called design, mom, who ostracizes and calls for her readers to ostracize anybody who supported Trump. This is exactly what has pushed people toward him and created the divide in our country that’s a rot from the inside out. I am arming myself with information  and yet I find that the most depressed about the election in my circle are the ones that keep repeating this ridiculous line “now I know how much this country really hates women” which is such a joke. Time to grow up! [/quote]

We're not "blindsided" because we can't believe that he won - he won before, so we know that's possible, and[b] all the polling said that it was going to be really close again this time. [/b]We're tuning out because he is THAT bad, but he won - and it's pretty unbearable. He's a rapist felon who is going to burn everything down, and we were helpless to stop it and are helpless to stop it from being as bad as it's going to be.

I saw a tweet before the election that hit me right in the heart - it was along the lines of, the human body was not meant to withstand three Trump election cycles. Well now it's three Trump election cycles and two Trump presidencies. And you will excuse me if I don't want to stay glued to his every outrageous, shocking, disgusting move once again. People knew exactly who he was, and they chose him again - and no, I do not need to follow every second of this now as if me paying attention will somehow influence things one way or another.

This was a mistake. The outcome was never going to be close, but the same way announcing east coast results affects west coast turnout, media outlets didn't want to discourage Harris voters with negative polling results. Cherry picking and imbalanced emphasis can make the numbers support any narrative. Also, all of the network panels picking apart Trump minutiae and blowing up Harris minutiae in the 4-6 weeks before Election Day: they were essentially trying to will a Harris win into reality.

Harris/Walz was never going to win. And the media knew it.

Find "balanced" sources, limit your exposure, and do a gut check about what you're consuming.[/quote]
