Destroying confidence in the electoral system and other pillars of democracy (media, courts) is their goal, it’s not just pathetic whining. Then they use that lack of confidence to push strongman powers, restrictive voter suppression laws, and other crackdowns.

Yes it’s unbecoming of a Prez
But it’s also dangerous. Him coming unhinged shows a course of action to come. His army of fools will get behind whatever he says and reaction could be violent
