US lacks the authoritarian control say Russia has. To fully control information flowing into the country. Anyone with internet will be able to see what is really going on from a non Trump source.

I think this is getting less true by the day. The internet is no longer an organic collection of public information. It's massive players deciding what people see in a way that people voluntarily take part in.
I spent way too long talking to a Harvard PhD holding former coworker who was mainlining the Trump kool aid. He's obviously a very smart person in some respects, but he was living in an alternate reality. The interesting part, is talking with him exposed some aspects where I was living in an alternate reality myself. I'd argue those were a lot more minor, however.
