Democracy is at least partially a social "technology" for avoiding civil wars. You have to let the "wrong" people win elections occasionally. If they ever become convinced that winning elections is impossible then they'll fall back to violence to get their way.
This is a general observation about human societies, not a dig at any specific US political faction.

Unfortunately, in reality, they believe the election is rigged, win the election, and still believe that elections are rigged so next time they don't win, its definitely rigged.
