   “My sense is that if Trump wins, Hillary supporters will be sad,” left-   
   wing writer Sally Kohn tweeted the day of the 2016 election. “If Hillary   
   wins, Trump supporters will be angry. Important difference.” Kohn turned   
   out to be wrong about her own side that year, which angrily set about   
   delegitimizing Donald Trump’s victory. She was wrong, too, in her apparent   
   assumption — shared by shop owners who boarded up their windows — that   
   Trump supporters would react as violently to his defeat as the Black Lives   
   Matter movement reacted to a death in Minneapolis.   
      
   Which is not to say President Trump and many of his supporters are   
   responding gracefully to their candidate’s failure to repeat his 2016 feat   
   of winning the presidency by a margin of 77,736 votes in three crucial   
   states (Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania). They are not consoled that Joe   
   Biden’s margin of victory in this year’s three crucial states (Arizona,   
   Georgia, Wisconsin) was an even smaller 43,809 votes.   
      
   Trump has not discouraged efforts by his lawyers and others to, somehow,   
   overturn the result. None has come anywhere close to identifying errors   
   that would justify overturning the result in one state, much less the   
   three needed to reverse the result.   
      
   This should not be surprising. When one state whose electoral votes are   
   decisive has a very narrow popular-vote margin, the results will be   
   fiercely contested, as Florida’s were in 2000. The final official margin   
   was just 537 votes.   
      
   That’s a lot less than 77,736 or 43,809, or the 118,601 by which George W.   
   Bush carried the crucial electoral votes of Ohio in 2004. Overturning   
   earlier narrow electoral-vote majorities would have required successful   
   challenges of popular-vote margins of 18,488 in two states in 1976, of   
   317,742 votes in seven states in 1968 and of 33,538 votes in four states   
   in 1960. That’s one reason losing candidates didn’t challenge the results.   
      
   Another reason is we have — or had — a norm against delegitimizing   
   election results. In 1960, Richard Nixon chose to observe that norm and   
   not challenge results in multiple states. In 2000, Al Gore contested the   
   results in Florida but conceded after the final court ruling and segued to   
   issue advocacy.   
      
   Not so in 2016. In violation of longstanding norms, Obama administration   
   intel and law-enforcement agencies spied on the opposition party campaign.   
   Officials proffered the dodgy Steele dossier before the FISA court without   
   revealing it was paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.   
      
   In violation of longstanding norms, Democrats refused to accept the result   
   as legitimate. “I will not accede to this. I will resist,” tweeted liberal   
   think tank head Neera Tanden (President-elect Joe Biden’s choice to head   
   the Office of Management and Budget) five days after the election.   
   Democrats took to calling themselves “the Resistance,” suggesting the   
   Trump administration was morally equivalent to the pro-Hitler Vichy regime   
   in France.   
      
   Again and again, leading Democrats — Hillary Clinton, Rep. Jerrold Nadler,   
   the late Rep. John Lewis, Joe Biden, Jimmy Carter — called Trump an   
   “illegitimate” president. For three years, Democrats advanced the Russia-   
   collusion hoax without finding or producing any evidence except for the   
   discredited Steele dossier.   
      
   Joe McCarthy had the limp excuse that at some point, there were some   
   communists in the State Department. Democrats and their many allies in the   
   news media lacked a similar excuse for propagating the Russia-collusion   
   hoax.   
      
   So you can find polls that say most Democrats believe Trump is an   
   “illegitimate” president and that Russians hacked election websites and   
   polls that say most Republicans believe Biden stole the election with the   
   connivance of election officials in multiple states.   
      
   High-minded commentators who paid relentless and respectful attention to   
   what were obviously absurd and concocted charges of Russian collusion   
   lament this state of affairs. They urge everyone to heed Joe Biden’s call   
   to “unify” the nation.   
      
   They have a point. Democrats misbehaved for four years in trying to   
   delegitimize Donald Trump’s 77,736-vote victory. Trump and many   
   Republicans have been misbehaving for four weeks in trying to delegitimize   
   Joe Biden’s 43,809-vote victory.   
      
   The conservative National Review is right to denounce Trump’s “disgraceful   
   endgame.” But its liberal counterparts have done little or nothing to   
   denounce Democrats’ disgraceful flouting of longstanding norms. The few   
   left writers — Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi — have taken flak and   
   separated themselves from institutional affiliations.   
      
   Democrats who are dismayed that many Americans aren’t meekly accepting the   
   legitimacy of the Biden presidency are in the process of learning a lesson   
   taught a very long time ago. You reap what you sow.
