“A healthy democratic culture depends on all parties accepting the legitimacy of elections. This holds especially true for those on the wrong end of an election result. Losing parties have to be willing to consent to their loss. They might not like a given result, but they must accept the legitimacy of the democratic means through which it was achieved. … The withdrawal of losers’ consent is now a growing problem in American politics. According to the right-thinking classes, there’s only one side to blame – Donald Trump and his allies. … There’s just one rather serious flaw in this ‘election denialism’ narrative. In foisting all the blame on Trump, it obscures an earlier and far more damaging act of election denial – namely, the Democrats’ claim that the 2016 election result was produced by Russian interference.” (11/04/24)
