    This is American, here you respect result on free election. So you don’t, for instance, start a huge riot with the goal of overturning the election, 14 days before the inauguration of the new president, supporting the movement to hang your VP and attacking the US capitol.

      FUN FACT literally the 2nd paragraph of the declaration of Independence gives all Americans the right to overthrow the government if it infringes on your rights and implement a government that better respects your rights

      (note, depending on the transcription or print it might not even have paragraphs)

        The Declaration of Independence doesn’t give Americans any rights, because it’s not part of the Constitution and it’s not law.
