A major reason despots like Hitler, Stalin and others garnered the admiration and support of their countrymen was propaganda. They controlled news outlets and education - just as the democrats have done for decades.
Regardless of who runs against a democrat, anti-Christian, globalist news, media and education sectors will demonize the democrat opponent. If Mother Teresa was on a ticket running against a democrat, these sectors would have the majority of Americans believing she's a thief and whore.
Our problem is more than the democrat party. It's the mountains/sectors that make up society, which are dominated and controlled by the spirit of anti-Christ.
"When the wicked arise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase." - Proverbs 28:28
You make a very important point. The Founders put a free press in the very first amendment for good reason. A free press was to be a watchdog, a very important watchdog.
But as you noted, the press in now pretty much an arm of the Democrat party. They say nothing when Democrats cheat. They report nothing. And so the cheating continues.
I really don’t know how this can be turned around. The internet helps to get the word out. But that’s just not enough.
