Wait until you hear about Donald Trump.

The thing is, I've seen Trump supporters dodging criticism of the big lie by pointing to Hillary saying the election was stolen from her. Now it's true that she didn't do a January 6th, but it's still cover.

I will say, I think it's true that without Russian interference she would have won. But that's only true because her loss was so narrow, almost anything happening slightly better would have won her the election. The real question is: why did Democrats run a candidate weak enough that this was a possibility in the first place? Trump was an awful candidate, and he would have been trounced by any non-awful candidate. But it's more comfy for people to stick their heads in the sand about the fact that HRC actually lost the election.
