Over the years, Democrats have claimed just about every political victory for the GOP to be illegitimate. This ranges from President Donald Trump’s election in 2016 to Georgia’s gubernatorial election in 2018. They’re never going to get over the fact that a lot of Americans just don’t like them that much.
