People who lose always hate the EC. Trump thought he was going to lose and he bashed it. Clinton lost and her supporters want it revisited. Regardless, it doesn't matter. It's how the rules are drawn up and they knew it going in.
Jesus, can you imagine the reaction from Trump supporters if some legislative body with actual power reversed the election in favor of Hillary? After he'd just won the election fair and square? We'd have a war in the streets. The absolute last thing this nation needs right now.
It's no secret at this point that I can't stand Trump. My hatred of him has less to do with traditional Republican platforms or even his boorish personalty. I just have a burning hatred for the "alt right" Neo Nazi shitheads that have latched onto his coattails. Their normalization and legitimization is unacceptable to me. Right or not, I wish violence and death upon their kind, which in itself makes me a shittier person than I was before I knew of their existence, and that sucks.
Otherwise, I'm willing to give the dude a chance if he keeps his distance from those clowns. To the victor go the spoils. If it becomes a traditional GOP administration due to his staff and inexperience, then it's nothing new. If it becomes an authoritarian semi-facist regime, stripping people of their civil rights, then I would encourage people to take to the streets as they are now, and hopefully in larger numbers. I'm hoping the latter is just a media construct at this point.
