If you don't like the way the election turned out, appoint the loser to be the winner. I refer to a news story titled, "Trump Demands Kari Lake Be Made Arizona Governor After Her Defeat."
And we suggest that Democracy in America is not under siege? Most troubling to me is a word Trump used -- "Installed." "Kari Lake should be installed Governor of Arizona," he said. "Installed," to me, has little regard for who won the election or whether his (and her) charge that the election was rigged should be proven. Dictators might be "installed," but in America, we elect our leaders.
In America, you don't have the power to just accuse the other side of cheating and therefore be awarded the office.
But, are the protections against that eroding? Is Trump chipping away at Democracy? Is a day coming when the vote will no longer be meaninful, but rather who Trump declares the winner be given the office?
