Left attacking election

It seems just like yesterday that progressives were breathless and hyperventilating over the prospect that President Trump might not respect the election results. Since the election, all related processes have been under vociferous attack from the left.

First it was the Electoral College, which in retrospect worked perfectly just as the founders intended. It was ingenuously designed to protect all states united from undue influence of highly populated states. Have any of the snowflakes on the left considered why all states regardless of size have exactly the same number of senators and therefore legislative power?

Then came the Russian factor. This is very intriguing because the propaganda war between all world powers has been continuous since Old Shep was a pup. And the United States has been at the forefront of such endeavors. For decades, we bombarded Europe and Russia with political messages from Radio Free Europe and who knows what covert shenanigans are afoot today.

The fact that the Hillary/Podesta show was exposed for the condescending elitist outfit it is had little effect on the vote of this deplorable.
