Trumpists have a racialized understanding of democracy: White power must be maintained at all costs, they are the only "real" citizens, and if they don't win elections the outcome is illegitimate.

The Trumpists and their followers have a racialized understanding of democracy in which white supremacy and white power must be maintained at all costs, where they are the only "real" citizens and voters, and where if they do not win at the ballot box the system must be corrupt and the outcome was "stolen" or otherwise illegitimate. That kind of racial logic is the very definition of white supremacy.
