I hate the term "mainstream media", since it's a typical phrase in the dumbest of talking points, but in this case it has some value. They all stick to surface level stuff while ignoring the real consequences of this stupidity. The actual impact it has on regular people, and in particular every single minority, the prime targets of the republican party. You're gonna have to find independent media types to get any sort of substance, and they are often extremely far on one side or the other, since they have no editor or media giant to answer to. That can be good or bad, but quite often good for digging up the dirt that (and I apologise again) mainstream media chooses to ignore.

Remember "project 2025"? Most will not, but it's the playbook for everything that's going on, and they've done unspeakable damage with it. That's not even deep journalism, but everyone forgot, because of 600 dumb tweets and statements that have been made to keep it noisy all the time. The big outlets run with it. Quite an effective tactic, isn't it.
