So if a fascist goes on podcasts, the empty-brained populace has no choice but to vote for him?
I think the dipshits who were gonna vote for trump were gonna vote for him no matter where he appeared. The voters are to blame. The voters are not 6-year-olds. The voters are all adults capable of reasoning and capable of bearing guilt.
I doubt it was the sole purpose he won but I’m sure it swayed new voters to his direction. I think its safe to say the media has an influence on how people think and react.
What I’m saying is running a good media campaign influences public opinion and can help someone win elections. By going onto podcasts he was able to get his shitty views into more people’s ears, and potential pitched alongside a host they already respect and trust. Strong media presences was also crucial for people like JFK and Hitler. Its nothing new the format is changing and democrats weren’t keeping up with the format in terms of their media presence.

What you say takes agency away from the voters. Voters have agency, responsibility and blame.
“The media has an influence” <- these statements, when repeated often, take the agency and responsibility away from the voters.
The voters voted, and are responsible for their votes.
