Despite the confident hot takes spilling out of every corner of the internet, I think there are a multitude of reasons Trump won this week. However, I think it is undeniable that information bubbles and the right wing messaging machine played a significant role. There is no one out there more studied or more incisive on how the (dirty) system works than you. I hope you'll keep making some time to write about the US situation. I find it personally quite helpful as I try to make my corner of the frustratingly purple state of Michigan a little bit better.
Spot on Katie. I'm glad you call Michigan a purple state. As the great Sarah Kendzior says, there's no such thing as red states or blue states. They're purple, like a bruise.
Mainstream media has absolutely failed America and rest of the world. Mostly deliberately, as a result of billionaire ownership. But there's been a huge amount of cowardice and obeying in advance too, including in the UK.

Thanks, Katie. I’ll definitely be writing more. Hope you’re holding up okay.
