The media was acting for the deep state to drum up something to cause riots. Peace, a successful economy, US industry restarting, there were to many good things that would put an incumbent back in the White House. So, they did it all: riots over Floyd, Antifa, released COVID, drove up interest rates, had teams of lawyers and agents at the DOJ and FBI all to get rid of Trump.
The above might have worked out, except all they had up there sleeve was Joe Biden and Obama the puppet master.
