The refuge of the Trump nuts trying to defend Trump’s statement on refusing to accept the outcome of the election is Bush/Gore 2000.
Let’s revisit that one shall we? Which candidate won the popular vote? Which one needed the Supreme Court to decide how a state could run its recount process because they completely botched things? Who ultimately respected the outcome of both the Supreme Court case and the electoral college vote?
Trump ignores all of that and goes straight to the election being rigged against him and then leaving people wondering if he’d ever concede.
That’s an apples to unicorns comparison. And media types trying to make the analogy should have their credentials revoked for simply getting the facts and circumstances wrong.
