whose voices didn't count because of our election system. The news media spent years doing nothing but covering Trumpers and what they cared about (or didn't, depending on what you're referring to), and now we have an election where Biden won the majority of the PV by millions, as well as the requisite number of Electoral Votes (and then som), and they still feel entitled to more coverage. I have a bad feeling that, even once Trump is gone, we are going to be hearing more about the Trumpists and their feelings over the next 2-4 years and how sad they must be that they lost their "God Emperor" due to a "rigged election".
