One of the reasons it’s so easy for Trump’s cult to believe the election was rigged against Trump is because most media outlets have spent decades centering Republicans and acting like Democrats don’t matter or exist.
They believe they’re the majority because they are over-represented on social media, on television, on the NYT, everywhere.
It has emboldened them and cemented their incorrect belief that they’re a majority.

I am so tired of watching all these pundits tweet that they can’t believe this is happening when they all need to look in a mirror and recognize how they contributed to marching us here and fix themselves.
