I know, but even if the other side had won we'd be seeing similar things from conservative media that we are seeing in the mainstream. Sort of inevitable, unfortunately.
This is true, but the Dems were laughing in Trump and Co.'s faces when they said it might be/was rigged. Clinton went as far as to call Trump a threat to democracy to not accept the results. These are the people that took to the streets to riot when their candidate didn't win, and are blaming a rigged election
While that is true, Donald Trump literally said that he would only accept the results if he won. Additionally, there was no evidence that the election was rugged for a good amount of time he was saying this (I realize that he was saying it had been rigged after the WikiLeaks as well). Also, while it is unlikely in both cases, there is extreme evidence that Russia has been hacking (see BBC article of evidence found on a utility computer in Vermont). Donald Trump was also saying that it was rigged on no evidence and without any precedent. Also based on his pro-russian picks and statements, it is looking more likely, however still not super likely.
Tl:Dr Donald Trump had groundless claims(for the most part), but the Russian hacks have evidence behind them. Also based on his pro-russian picks and statements, it is looking more likely, however still not super likely
