The "media" , which is really the voice of the corrupt "Elite/Deep State" coalition, has too much power. They pronounced the election valid, and the vast majority of the public simply swallows the media vomit and accepts it.
I've said for years the real solution lies with seizing mass communications from the Elite/Deep State and turning it's power back against them.
Till we can stop the propaganda, we will continue getting cheated.
I hear you! However, I believe the source of the nihilism we see today is from the Philosophy Depts. of our universities. For many decades, they have taught moral relativism, subjectivism and that knowledge is unknowable, thus there is no right or wrong. This is where it all starts: with ideas. Ideas are what move history. The propagandists and anti-intellectual forces were taught to think or not think in school/college.
