And then he lost this campaign.

So that's both, you know, a warning that you shouldn't get out over your skis if you're one of these Republicans and you won't be supported by other Republicans.

But also people like that are not going to run for the offices that oversee local elections if they know that they can't win and it will become they'll become targets.

I think we've seen a major shift in a lot of ways.

So one thing that is that in 2020, Fox News was for the most part skeptical of Trump's claims of fraud.

And what Fox saw was that when they cast doubt on them, viewers started fleeing to alternative, more Trump friendly outlets.

So I don't think we'll see Fox do that again because they didn't they don't want to lose their viewers.

So that's an important thing.

But then you start looking at more traditionally mainstream outlets.

There's a danger.

Trump has threatened CBS and Paramount.

He's threatened ABC and put a lot of pressure on them, as we've seen.

The new owner of CBS is the son of a Trump donor.

Trump has indicated he's very happy with the ownership of CBS.

But he's also said that he, you know, he's sued them before and he would sue them again.

And that means they're going to be nicer to him.

He said this just on 60 Minutes a few days ago.

So he clearly believes that he can bully the press.

And I think there are signs that he's been successful in doing that.
