There are many, many people who think that Biden was not legitimately elected, but let's not pretend that it has much of anything to do with Twitter. Those people are being told attractive lies by fools and knaves.

And four years earlier, a significant number of voters thought that the media put a finger on the scale for Trump. Her emails! I'm old enough to remember when it was clear that the media was jonesing for a youthful George W. Bush and couldn't stand Al Gore. But you are of course correct to hint that the right wing runs on grievance in a way the rest of us can barely grok.
