On one hand many on the left did moan and complain (and march) a lot just because Trump won. But on the other they were not contesting the election...they were voicing their displeasure that Trump was in office and they were afraid of how he would govern.
Four years later and the right is actually complaining that they were CHEATED and Trump should be declared the winner...because Trump said it.
Never mind...I agree the right is being ridiculous.
That's what I don't get about those trying to say this is no different that what the left did in 2016. Democratic officials congratulated Trump almost immediately and said "let's get to work." The people were pissed that Trump won, but they accepted that he won. Even the whole Russia thing wasn't about trying to delegitimize the election as much as people on the right tried to claim it was.
What we are seeing on the right is unprecedented.
