Donald Trump’s shameless demand that the state of Georgia “find 11,780 votes” so he can attempt to hang onto power illegally (aka a coup) has the whole world talking. The story, first broken by the Washington Post on Sunday, shows another way Trump is trying to undermine American democracy.

The Gregory Brothers, a bunch of guys who specialize in song parodies, has taken Trump’s sleazy words and set them to the tune of “Seasons of Love” from the musical Rent.
