Trump's election proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the elections are as fair as they could ever be. Not in a million years would anyone in any establishment left or right have wished for Trump to be president in 2016. Yet it happened anyway.

Maybe you could say that for the 2016 election. Trump lost in 2020.

Which just goes to show that the system was robust even against tampering from the administration (in that case at least).

To be specific, it proved that the elections are “fair” in the sense that they follow the rules as written. They don’t, for example, fairly represent the populace.
