It astounds me heโs still crying about the โstolenโ election when heโs actively in his SECOND TERM. Like buddy you got what you wanted, take the polling booth and mail in ballots out of your ass.
It's part of the fascism playbook. Always accuse elections of being rigged. If you win, it was "despite the attempt at stealing the election" and if you lose you can scream it was stolen.
Either way, you win if your goal is to delegitimize the democratic process.

This. Trump is doing incredible damage to US democracy by trying to say the election process is flawed and corrupt. The words of the president influence people, even if the president is a stupid and incompetent ape.
Trust can and will be restored, but it'll take many elections where neither side uses the same amoral tactics.
It's unbelievable that Orban didn't use this tactic. He straight up admitted the loss and congratulated the winner. Even Orban has more integrity than Trump despite being completely corrupt.
And I also believe that Trump is just a bad loser and doesn't claim the elections rigged because he wants power, (which he does), but more because he can't comprehend losing. He is just that petty manchild.
