I don’t disagree that Clinton is as establishment as it gets and there were a lot of reasons to not want her in office.

I’m just triggered by the false equivalency, because unlikeable elite as she may be, her politics are more like treatable cancer for democracy whereas Trumps is like acute lead poisoning.

The reason I mentioned the republican governors wasn’t to suggest you were a member, rather to suggest that if we did think those states performed election fraud then we’d expect it to be in favour of the Republican Party, right?

Regardless of all that I hope you have a great weekend :)

Not necessarily, there was a large part of the Republican party that was, and still is Never Trumpers...

They were the establishment, anti-populist, neo-con wing of the party. Their allegiance is not the party, but the establishment, the elite, etc.
