Anti-democracy of dunces

Digby rides again:

The real problem, in my view, is that there is a subset of Americans who believe that government is illegitimate if their chosen leaders aren't elected. They simply don't believe in democracy. Voting is a ritual for them, something one does, like go to church. But it's expected that their preferred leaders will always win and their preferred agenda is the only one that will be enacted. (In one of the greatest ironies ever, they are undoubtedly the same people who stuck with George W. Bush to bitter end --- the most illegitimate president ever.) They get very, very agitated and angry whenever they are not "in charge." (Sadly for them, they never actually are.)

Update: By the way, Duhbya has significant competition for "most illegitimate president."  See Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876 and John Quincy Adams in 1824.  But he wins easily for any election of the past 100 years.
