10. I keep hearing and seeing the media continue to beat the drum on "Trump inroads" and to make their narrative look right.

I'm not buying it. Trump landed right about where he finished in 2020, a little ahead of 2016. He gained no more in any constituency than anywhere else. The media cannot be trusted to be truthful. It creates its own narratives and then pushes it with anecdotal evidence to underline what it cannot prove.

Just noticed this is a Catholic media piece. And that explains everything.
