This is the narrative, yes. Where is the evidence that Trump and his followers screaming about election fraud has damaged the perception of US democracy? So far, it appears that the system did the thing it was supposed to do: Trump is being removed from his office.

If people telling lies about a system is sufficient to destroy that system, then perhaps the system needs to die and be replaced with something less refutable.

Is democracy really so fragile?
