You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

Trump’s new AI website believes he is the “former” president and acknowledges his criminal indictments
Screenshot of America.gov answering, “Has a president ever been criminally indicted? If so, who?” The response says former President Donald J. Trump has been criminally indicted and that no sitting president is shown in the cited sources as having been indicted. It cites Trump’s August 1, 2023 federal indictment on four counts related to conduct after the 2020 election, as well as Congressional Research Service information noting additional New York and Florida indictments.
