There's an important and serious point to make here. We are witnessing an authoritarian attempt to undermine the democratic process by falsely challenging this election. It has not worked.
The safeguards our democracy has in place from the poll workers and state officials from both parties and the media have stood up strongly against these false attempts to subvert the election.
This is something people of all views should be proud of. That being said, this attempt was uniquely hamfisted. A future effort to reject an American election could be more sophisticated.
One lesson of this experience is that America is not necessarily immune to authoritarianism as we thought we might be. Still, our safeguards are impressive and our process survived this stress test.
