It is my opinion that sensible people would not view a Trump victory in November as a done deal. That is both irresponsible and ignorant.
That said, we don't have to buy into what the MSM and Big Tech are arrogantly and shamelessly peddling and allow it to demoralize us and depress us. (the current revelation that the Harris campaign has been buying fake "news headlines" from Google, who displays them as if they were real news stories.
I just posted this last week before this story broke and I wonder is this is how the deception is manifested to a typical Internet user.
I just listened to Steven Crowder's podcast from yesterday:
LINK: THIS IS WAR: YouTube is stealing the election in real time... The entire show was about how Google and YouTube are in full "Elect Leftist" mode by manipulating search results.
If you search for "Donald Trump" you get ten pages of results (I didn't go past ten pages) that are, with the exceptions of the major Trump related all wholly negative.
There is a pane on initial Google search which appears to be a "news feed" as far as I can tell, the first four shown are extremely negative, but you can click on a link to show more of them.
Clicking on that Google link to "show more" news items, returned 17 items like this:

This was just the first page for each of these politicians. I did check the next ten pages for each of them, and both continued in all the same direction: Trump, very negative, Harris, very positive.
We expect this, it is no surprise because we are aware of it mostly except for the pearl clutchers and the denizens of the fainting couches we find on this website.
But 4.5 BILLION people worldwide access Google and YouTube each day. And the VAST majority of them have NO idea whatsoever.
And Crowder had an expert on his show on exactly this type of manipulation, and this person said it was possible using Google and YouTube alone, to turn a 50-50 race into a 90-10 race.
This is on top of the normal and usual lawlessness we have seen the Left engage in at election time, stuffing ballot boxes, etc.
So, to your point-we have no rational reason to expect an easy or even a large Trump win in November. We have to conduct ourselves like we are behind.
And part of that is not playing to their hand, swallowing what they feed us and getting demoralized and depressed.
In the Navy, we were told to "Keep a steady strain"...which means don't get too high, don't get too low. And I think that is good advice.
