    I’m not up to speed on US history, which other US Presidents tried to prevent the certification of the election of the President who ousted them?

      Who exactly ousted who? Trump lost, he wasn’t ousted by anybody.

      Anyways, pretty much every republican president since nixon has tried to end democracy, that’s kind of the goal of the republican party you know, the one that isn’t called the democratic party? At least Trump didn’t invade native lands and kill innocent women and children on more than one occasion, or literally duel to the death with children. Trump is a terrible president but he doesn’t come close to the worst.

        … that’s what being ousted is. An encumbant losing an election has been ousted, as in forced out of a role, yes by an election loss.
