I mean it's essentially the same people smugly scolding the libs and left who want to abolish the EC that "We're a republic, not a democracy", that a huge margin of victory in the popular vote doesn't matter because the EC actually elects the President, and that the EC is actually very good because it protects "small states" or w/e whenever they "win" an election that they would have lost under a more sane electoral system suddenly coming to the realization that all their baseless and obvious lies about "voter fraud" would be completely moot because the Electoral College actually elects the President. So they essentially tripled down on their conceived alternate reality where Trump won in a 49-state landslide, actually, where they can will their fantasies and new Constitutional powers into existence just by believing in it hard enough.
