Post-Ironic Democracy

When you run for office in a Democratic system, lose the vote, declare yourself the winner anyway and accuse everyone else of being the ones in denial.

"Before the election was called, I had a pretty good feeling about it, so I preemptively declare victory and anointed myself an Anarcho-Monarch of Ottowa. Then to my shock and also not shock at all, the elites appointed their own puppet-leader instead, Zed Shabibe. Or something, I dunno, I wasn't paying attention. I'm calling upon my supporters to not recognize the legitimacy of these so-called 'elected officials' unless it's ever me."
-- Jreg satirizing Post-Ironic Democracy in "I Won (And By A Lot)"
