He lost the election. Trump's supporters are the opposite of proponents of democracy, despite their delusions convincing them otherwise.

Democracy isn't when only Democrats win either, and yet we have people like Stacy Abrams.

Either way, I find this comparison of ancient Rome to modern politics ridiculous. Just thought I'd slam in here with a jab.
