Ssssssshhhhhhh, I have a little secret.... (I don't care about anything but shit like this above. Most grown ups think this way.... just a little hint)
The simple fact is that we suffered greatly for 16 years as a nation - at the hands of complete incompetents who fitted nicely in a suit and allowed globalist Cronies to steal the wealth and savings of a great portion of our middle class from 2001 - 2016. The suffering which is about to result from this is unconscionable in its magnitude.
Your 'fact finders' and journalists do not have the first clue about any of this - most of them can't tell a modus from a ponens - but they 'got a college degree' and look pretty. They had four years of sex, alcohol and social justice classes - and we inherit the dimwittery. If your news comes to you at a 6th grade level, replete with X,XXX tally of social clique offenses... it does not matter how many or what percentage, or if all but one of them parrot the same thing. You become what you consume from them.
