      I mean... glances at the 2000 and 2004 elections

      Part of the joke is that American democracy has been a farce for a long-ass time. Elections are illegitimate. They've pretty much always been illegitimate. But they pacify the white group of people, so they fulfill the consent-manufacturing role they were designed to serve.

      Like so much else that Trumpsters believe, its been true in the broad sense forever. But it only becomes true to them when they are the aggrieved party. Same with child sex trafficking and corporate censorship and China Tooker Jerbs and a thousand other offenses of the modern western state.

      These assholes, and their liberal counterparts, are only able to see the problem when their side isn't winning.
