In the wake of Trump's election, I've heard a lot of grumbling from Democrats about the fact that Hillary got more votes than Trump overall. They're suggesting the Trump presidency is illegitimate because he didn't win a majority, or even a plurality, of the votes cast. I have a couple of questions for these people:
1. Does it really matter to you? If some counting error were discovered and it was proven that Trump actually won the popular vote, would you breathe a sigh of relief and accept Trump as your president? Would all of the asinine things he does be acceptable if they truly were the will of 'the people'?
2. If it would matter, why?
3. How is "the majority is always right" differ from "might makes right"?
