Still think that American elections, especially in Republican controlled states, accurately reflect the intent of the voters? That's cute.

    Well I'm going out on a limb and say that most big Agri farmers supported Trump, which was the context to this.

    If voting was arranged relatively fairly no republican would've won since Reagan.

    But this crop of leopard fodder is republican farmers getting shafted by their prince elect.

    Well SOMEONE keeps voting for them enough to win. And Trump did win then popular vote this time around.

    Because SOMEONE keeps making it much more difficult to vote for some people than others.

    It's no coincidence that there's country clubs of a hundred members or less in almost entirely white and rich neighborhoods that you can vote in while at the same time there's as little as one polling station for hundreds of thousands of people in areas where the population is mainly low income, nonwhite, or both.

    And that's not even getting into the wholesale disenfranchisement of people convicted of crimes by a "justice" system overwhelmingly stacked against poor people and people of color and in favor of rich people, especially rich white people.
