Trump supporters, and republicans in general, hate democracy. the Dems need to call this out going into November. "trump wins, or it's stolen" is un-american garbage, but it's exactly their position; and they're proud of it

the electoral college is pretty much just affirmative action for the republican party at this point

So basically what some southern state repubs. have been saying and that's have an election to keep up appearances, but at the end of the day we win and if we lose, we have the right to overturn things with no fightback

To them democracy is only valid when it goes in their favor. Trump has outright said as much. If it no longer serves them then they will abandon it.
