> At one time or another, it's been far more than half. Trump "losing the popular vote" was daily news on left-leaning sites. From Hillary Clinton:

This was a fact. No one claimed that he lost the electoral vote and no one claimed that he didn’t win based on the rules.

> In fact last year, a whopping 72%[0] of Democrats thought Russians got Donald Trump elected

It is a fact that Russia interfered in the election and that they were responsible for hacking and leaking the Democrats private messages. It is also a fact that people close to Trump were convicted about lying about their communication with Russia. The opinion part comes in about whether it resulted in Trumps winning.

I’m also not clutching my pearls. I know that the US has a history of interfering with (small d) democratic elections across the US.

Well, there was a huge amount of fuss about how he won on a technicality and the rules are wrong. Which looks extremely similar, even if it can be motte and baileyed away years later.
