It really is true that for some people history began in 2016.

Wouldn't the only people culpable for 2016 be a handful of voters in like three swing states? Because Clinton won the popular vote in that election. She won the majority of votes.
So you'll have to specifically blame like 20,000 voters in like Pennsylvania and wherever else. Don't look at me, I'm from Texas. I voted as hard as I could for Mimi Soltysik in 2016 and Clinton still lost here by over a million votes.
I remember constantly reminding libs after 2016 that more people voted for Hillary. Very rarely did this result in them actually reflecting on the fact that maybe the institutions they hold up as sacrosanct are actually deeply undemocratic and should be replaced ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hell, Trump didn't even get a majority this time either. 49.9%
In a normal country, no candidate reaching a majority would have triggered a run-off election.
dems who didn't spend their whole careers getting rid of the electoral college after 2000 are at fault
Yeah it’s a handful of voters in a depressingly small number of places and it’s been 10 years. A lot of the people involved in the choosing are deader than doornails.
