A worrying political trend; election result rejection, appears to be emerging as a coup making tool. It comes from demagogic people masquerading as democrats. They command public following and are good at studying the electoral systems, seemingly to turn these systems upside down.

They, in the process, exploit inherent weaknesses in the systems, identify 'villains' to blame for things going wrong, and tend to equate the 'system' with their selves. They divide the countries by generating, inspiring, and promoting negative nationalism that denies plain reality.
