In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.

There’s a bunch of other beauties in this latest little tweet storm from ohjesusican’teventypeitrightnow.

This is an example of what Masha Gessen was talking about immediately after the election:

Rule #4: Be outraged. If you follow Rule #1 and believe what the autocrat-elect is saying, you will not be surprised. But in the face of the impulse to normalize, it is essential to maintain one’s capacity for shock. This will lead people to call you unreasonable and hysterical, and to accuse you of overreacting. It is no fun to be the only hysterical person in the room. Prepare yourself.

This is going to get a lot worse.  This is his best behavior, when he’s in his conciliatory stage, and when he has yet to receive any formal power.
