I think people underestimate the impact of misinformation platforms like Twitter and TikTok.

It's true for Twitter (I don't use TikTok so I'll take your word for it) but what about Reddit that was very anti-Trump?

There is no way "misinformation" caused 80 million people to vote as they did.

70% of Republicans think Trump was the real winner of the 2020 election and that's hardly the only misinformation they have. It's hard to imagine that that wasn't a huge factor in the election.
