The Electoral College is what it is. It is actually the same basic model that you have for elections in the UK or Canada. With a first past the post system, you can get into a situation where one party gets more seats (electoral votes) even though another party gets more votes.
We just had an election in Canada in 2019. Trudeau's Liberals got less votes (5.9 million) than the conservatives (6.1 million), but the liberals won 157 seats to the Conservatives 121, which is why Trudeau jr. is still PM.
The difference between Canadians and Americans is that we are not going to spend the next 2-3 years arguing that Trudeau's election was illegitimate.
The important thing in a Democracy is that the rules are known beforehand and applied the same to every candidate. Trump won fair and square. Period.
