Wybory prezydenckie w USA w 2020 r. przeszły do historii. Cechowały je: rekordowa frekwencja, rekordowa liczba głosów korespondencyjnych oraz ogłoszenie zwycięstwa przez przegranego kandydata – wówczas jeszcze urzędującego prezydenta. Media amerykańskie, spodziewając się dezinformacji wyborczej, wykazały się odpowiedzialnością i konsekwentnie informowały o braku zwycięzcy w sytuacji niepoliczenia znacznej liczby głosów w kluczowych stanach. Twitter za sprawą D. Trumpa stał się jedną z głównych form komunikacji prezydenta ze społeczeństwem. Stąd szczególnie istotne były zabezpieczenia wprowadzone przez ten portal dotyczące przedwczesnego ogłoszenia zwycięstwa. Artykuł, wykorzystując krytyczną analizę dyskursu, na podstawie materiałów głównych stacji telewizyjnych (CNN, Fox News) oraz twittów Trumpa, bada tezę, że odpowiedzialność mediów tradycyjnych oraz społecznościowych w 2020 roku uniemożliwiła doprowadzenie do ogromnych niepokojów społecznych oraz doprowadziła do pokojowej zmiany władzy.

The U.S. presidential elections in 2020 went down in history for many reasons, including the record turnout, the record number of mail votes, and the announcement of victory by the losing candidate, the incumbent president. The American media expected this post-election disinformation and behaved responsibly by consistently reporting the lack of a winner when a significant number of votes remained uncounted in the key states. Twitter, thanks to D. Trump, became one of the main forms of communication between the president and the public. Therefore, the precautions introduced by this portal regarding the premature announcement of victory were particularly important. The analysis is based on the broadcasts of the main American TV stations (CNN, Fox News) and Trump's tweets. Using critical discourse analysis, we examine the thesis that the responsibility of traditional and social media in 2020 made enormous social unrest impossible and led to a peaceful change of power.
