But you really can't deny he won.

LOL

Of course we can, and we do. Because we define "won" differently than those who say the cheater "won".

Flip the letters around to "own". If you buy something, you legitimately own it. If you steal it, you don't own it, legitimately or otherwise. You stole it. The original owner (in this case, Trump) is still the owner. Sure, you have it in your possession, but that isn't ownership.

We view the election in the exact same light. We outright categorically deny that to steal something is to win it. If that makes us "election deniers", then that's another blatant misuse of words.
