4. Again, Robin, Moyn & others are right in pointing out that much of Trump's anti-democratic & racist rhetoric is part of a larger GOP trajectory that goes back (at least) to Goldwater. But even so: refusing to accept a clear election defeat & trying to over election is new.

The thing is, that's what his voters want to. They don't particularly want anything specific to be done. They just want "their guy" in power so they can have bragging rights to "own the libs" and feel their identity and worldview are validated.https://twitter.com/alexcruik/status/1275155829621239816 …
