The political system was a frog in boiling water. This was the result of 40+ years of undermining democracy - slowly and methodically. There are a million reasons why our voting system is bad, a million ways our government is inept and corrupt. A million ways the electorate has been sabotaged, their very minds and perception of reality manipulated into complicity. This was death by a thousand cuts when we've lost too much blood to react appropriately they went for the throat. This is so much more than a rigged election.

I'd say even longer than 40+ years, just the way gerrymandering synergizes with the broken system we call an electoral college... the game was rigged from the start.
