Legitimacy crisis

ICYMI:

I think this is what’s most infuriating about this “stolen election” nonsense. It’s ridiculous to think that Biden stole his electoral college victory in front of everyone in several states with Republican election officials. But I think it’s just as inane that someone who got 7 million more votes could be denied the presidency because of an anachronism that makes no sense in the modern world.

Think about it. If Trump had managed to pull off a close win in a couple of the states, along the lines of what he did last time, he would have won despite losing by 4% and 7 million votes. And we would all be nodding our heads and saying that his win is legitimate because of the absurd electoral college.

Instead, we have Donald Trump and his brainwashed cult having a fit and insisting he actually won despite Biden having a decisive win in the electoral college and more than 7 million votes in the popular vote. And they have got practically the whole Republican party screaming that Biden is an illegitimate victor.

There is more wrong with all this than just Donald Trump.
