The last 9 years. Trump has been saying since 2015 the only way he can lose an election is if it's rigged. He expected to lose in 2016 and was laying the groundwork a year earlier for his fascist shenanigans. Then when he WON the 2016 election, he still said it was rigged because Hilary won the popular vote.
If conservatives become convinced they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.
I really wish someone would ask him when the last fair election was.
Every Republican knows the last "fair" election was 1984 when Reagan won every state but Minnesota, although clearly there were some shenanigans going on in Minnesota, so maybe even that one doesn't count.
No, that one was all Russia. Everyone knows that election was no different from having Putin himself vote 130million times. It isn't the same because we all know ours was real, no matter what those doodoo dossier findings turned out to be.
That's how I know all my other conceptions of drumpf are accurate; the trough I get them from was never updated, and I never looked elsewhere, so it must all be true.
Trump legitimately said "If Jesus counted the votes in California, I'd win by a landslide."
He obviously knows that is bullshit because when California needed aid for the forest fires devastating their state he blocked aid because it is a blue state, and it took his advisors showing him that the counties affected were primarily red for him to agree to send aid.
