The Democrats live in a world where the winner of the election becomes the President. The winner is determined by who gets the most votes, as determined by the Electoral College.
The Democrats live in a world where the institutions are trusted to perform the will of the people.
Trump and present Republicans do seem to live in an alternative world. The votes do not matter. The Electoral College does not matter. The will of the people does not matter. The institutions trusted with over-seeing our elections do not matter.
