The fact that American democracy is dead on the vine makes upholding the democratic spectacle that much more important, and that's more or less what the "democratic process" has become. The people must maintain their faith in the system at all costs, hence the over-the-top hyperbole leading up to November 3. Voters on both sides were regaled with scary stories about how this was the most important election in their lifetimes because it was their last chance to either save America from a fascist dictatorship or a communist dictatorship.
In the face of such risible hokum, the poorly educated but highly excitable American public responded by allegedly voting in record numbers, and by next morning, the designated bad guy was already outraging the known universe claiming dirty deeds. Of course he was; that's what bad guys do! Just ask Vince McMahon.
It was at this point that the Dem machine, confident that they had run a squeaky-clean campaign, might have said something along the lines of, "nothing to hide here, bring on any kind of investigation you want."
That's not what happened. Instead, the entire party apparatus and the Dem-aligned media universe exploded in hysterical umbrage that the Orange Ogre, that fat, racist, Putin-loving swine, would have the shameless audacity to besmirch the integrity of the DNC!
There's your clue!
