Remember the days just before November 8, when Donald Trump was behind in all the polls? Remember when he kept peppering his speeches with talk of "rigged elections" and "voter fraud?" Remember when we thought he's going to lose, and he's going to lose poorly, and he's going to undermine his followers' faith in our democracy and do irreparable damage to our country on his way back to the golf course?
Well, he won. And he won poorly. And today, at the end of a long holiday weekend, he got on Twitter to undermine his followers' faith in our democracy and do irreparable damage to our country on his way to the White House.
Behold:
Please note: there is no evidence of tens of people voting illegally, much less millions. There is no rational argument that the imaginary illegal vote count would favor Hillary Clinton. (In fact, the one American who has been charged with voting twice voted for Donald Trump.) There is just the accusation, probably tweeted out from atop a gold-plated toilet in a gold-painted tower surrounded by dump trucks full of sand. And now, for untold millions of Trump supporters, it is the truth.
Of course, if everyone on all sides of the 2016 election acknowledges voting irregularities—which Donald Trump seems to have done today—maybe we should do the whole thing again. Just so we know what's going on there.
Oh, but he went on:
Got it? He won, but he would have won more bigly if not for those illegal voters who don't exist, and even if the score had been tallied a different way, he still would have won because he would have played the game differently, which would have been sad (Sad!) because that way he wouldn't have had the chance to visit New Hampshire. Which also had voter fraud.
Ugh.
If there is one grownup within one square mile of the President-Elect of the United States of America, we could really use your help.
