If even a non-Trump supporter can see the fraud (worst case scenerio even), then why does the strong reaction to Trump's statements exist?
I was pointing out that it is hard for me to follow these two very different ideas at once. That democrats/the media in general are so appalled by the idea Donald Trump would say the election is rigged, while at the same time these videos exist and seem to prove that there was fraud.

From your link. Which contains not one word to substantiate the claim.
How some of you — I mean the white reactionaries who have pinned their hopes on this marmalade-coloured demagogue — have sacrificed moral and intellectual integrity to preserve your belief in him. How will you recover them after it is all over?
