It's precisely the bizarre demand for an "explanation" as to why the vote went Biden's way, along with attendant claims of electoral fraud, that is itself causing a crisis of legitimacy. The crisis will stop the moment chuds like this stop their cranklore tin-foilery.
The burden of proof is on Trump's election truthers to provide justification for their claims. So far they haven't. They're all sharing the same instantaneously debunkable hoax clips and claiming that Barr should be jailing election workers. *This* is what is causing our crisis.
Here's your explanation: During the vote counting process, election workers found that Biden received more votes than Trump. Because those provisional vote totals have been sufficient to take Biden past the 270 threshold, we are expecting him to be the next president. How's that?

Sure, it’s easy to make fun of him but I’ll remind my followers that so far no one has disproved his important hypothesis that demons frequently fly commercial.
As justifications for buying private jets go, it's not the worst in the world.
I don't want to fly in a tube with demons, I don't want to watch YouTube with demons, I don't want to canvass for Tuberville with demons. I don't want any of it.
Trumpism's ongoing viability is dependent on the enduring quality of his "He Fights"-ness. To set themselves up for success in 2022 and 2024, the movement has to plausibly make the case that they'll never cede an inch to the left on *anything*, including the election results.
This was evident on election night and in the days that followed, when MAGALAND was indignant with the institutional elements of the GOP more with Biden and the Democrats. They wanted to see more fight from them, which translated into echoing Trump's baseless claims of fraud.
