There will be backlash to the disinformation campaign that was launched right after Election Day - like the Axios article posted earlier, but I bet there will be some fascinating articles and documentaries about that from all corners.

What this jackass writing for the Federalist calls “swamp” most of us call the “USA”, or our country. We weren’t afraid that the swamp was compromised - the swamp leader had left the WH hours earlier. We were protective of the most important pillar of our country, because the rest comes crashing down without it.
