Fox News takes a rare 3rd place finish among adults 25-54.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

Found this section quite interesting
Civic participation
The United States has historically been characterized by lower levels of political participation than other advanced democracies. Trump fixed that! Throughout 2020, he made clear his determination to hold on to power unless repudiated by a massive popular margin. He had won the presidency in 2016 despite losing the national popular vote by nearly 3 million ballots. Plainly an even bigger margin would be required to force him out.
The anti-Trump majority of the electorate absorbed that message and acted on it. Never in U.S. history has such a high proportion of the adult population cast a ballot. Nearly two-thirds of eligible voters—66.2 percent—turned out in 2020. The last year to come close was 1908, when 65.7 percent of those eligible voted. But in 1908, women were not eligible to vote; men qualified to vote at age 21, rather than age 18. And in much of the country, Black people were effectively ineligible, too.
The 66 percent of 1908 was achieved when a U.S. population of 88.7 million cast 14.9 million votes. The 66 percent of 2020 was achieved by a population of 331 million casting 158 million votes. A president who sought to subvert U.S. democracy instead inspired unprecedented numbers of Americans to participate in that democracy, in order to save it from him. This was an achievement Donald Trump did not intend and surely did not want. But it was his achievement, even so.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

It is not surprising IMHO, considering the many obstacles that are present for voting in the USA.
Like having to register for voting (in most other countries, as a citizen, you are automatically registered and get mail about where you should go for voting),
the systematic underfunding of voting budgets in many districts (so that people have to wait for hours in order to be aable to vote (in germany, for example, waiting in the voting location for more than 20 minutes is rather rare, because there are enough polling places, usually within 5-10 minutes walk from your home))
the fact that voting takes place on a normal work day (i.e. a Tuesday) instead of a sunday or a national holiday where most people are free from work.
It also seems to be more complex to vote via mail (not to forget the current attempts of the Trumpian GOP to disenfranchise millions of votes by people who voted via mail)
Especially that not even once there have been successful attempts to move the voting day to a sunday, or to establish voting tuesday as a national holiday seems strange to me
