The legal challenges were only inevitable if Trump lost -- there is no evidence that Biden would have gone down that path if he lost by the same margins as Trump.  And no problem with the legal challenges themselves; as noted they could have provided a basis for closure as Bush, Obama, and Trump-appointed judges uniformly showed they had no merit.  But is the testing of institutions represented by the Rudy Giuliani and Sydney Powell clown-show healthy?  An attack on our institutions in the guise of a legal strategy?  And Trump's attacks on individuals involved with the election infrastructure leading to death threats and police protection requirements for secretary of states and county election supervisors?  Is any of that healthy?  And this has all led Trump to be successful on one front in that the majority of people who voted for him think that the election was  fraudulent and Trump actually won.  I get that many of my friends and colleagues and 74 million Americans think results of the election were a bad outcome.  But how can it be healthy that tens of millions of Americans think the election was rigged and Trump won?

Pretty short memory.
