Your super-wealthy decided who won. Trump offered them the most tax breaks and government contracts. As such, he had the most money to spend on his campaign and all the social media bosses on-side. Republican or Democrat, the biggest spender always wins.
That gives a false picture since it only counts legal declared spending.
For instance, what’s the effective value to Trump’s campaign of Elon Musk buying Twitter and using it to explicitly promote right wing views? How much did Russia spend this time to promote Trump? What about Israel, cause I’ll wager Netanyahu prefers having Trump in office, since Kamala might’ve demanded at least some holding back.
Actual spending to promote Republican and right wingers was way higher.
Where did you get that screenshot from? I mean, traditionally, you would provide and link and not just a screenshot. You know, in case its wildly misleading or something.
Also, don’t only count the amount spent after Harris joined the race or presume musk is going to self report accurately.
If this really is the first time in modern American history that the smallest spender won then thats huge. Although, it’ll only be due to the increased power of social media owners which I mentioned above.
This undercounts it. Musk’s “million dollar a day giveaway” is a notable example that wasn’t included in the stats. The shadowy $40 mil crypto ad buy in Ohio are some examples of adjacent spending that didn’t carry over in Trump’s column.

Thats literally all there is to it.

Shameful in every sense of the word.
Some will mark this trump presidency as the end, but it really should be Citizen’s United.
No wonder so much effort was made to keep bernie Sanders at bay.
