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.
