This is a Pandora's Box you can't close again. No presidential candidate in American history has directly disputed election results, let alone to this extent. Trump litigated at every possible angle, and accused the Supreme Court he partially installed of being "too scared" to overturn the election. Every CPAC panel this year about election integrity has implied that the Democrats cheated to get Biden to win. And then Trump makes the entire third act of his speech about it. The crowd chanted "You Won" during that part too.
How can you have a functioning democracy if one of the two political parties is constantly and directly accusing the other of cheating to win the election? Why bother to negotiate with people you are calling cheaters? And regardless of if they're arguing in bad faith, a sizeable part--possibly a majority--of their voter base genuinely believes it.
The Republicans are feeding into a mix of psychotic egotism and blind hatred for the sake of sacred votes and staying in power. Trump listing "RINOS" got more booing than mentioning any Democrat. The US will be lucky if the Republicans eat each other over this. If they get into power while having this egotistical psychopath as kingmaker and wannabe king, democracy in the USA will come to an end.
I love how he will never get over this, no matter what he does in the rest of his miserable life he will never ever be able to salve the wound that losing the election left on his psyche

Republicans: We want unity and bipartisanship. You should work with us to pass legislation.
Also Republicans: You stole the election, Biden didn't win, everything was rigged.
