They're dimocraps. They enjoy being lied to...not much more to say.
Take this idiotic petition going around to have Hillary take the Oval Office since she won the popular vote (although that hasn't been confirmed as far as I know.) The popular vote is completely irrelevant. It's like saying "I have two $20 bills in my pocket and you have one $50 bill. Therefore, because I have two bills and you only have one, I have more money than you."
They know this stupid fantasy of overturning the electoral college will never happen. But they buy into it anyway. Why? Because they're dimocraps...
