How does Hillary win the popular vote by 2,2 million and lose the electoral vote by a wide margin?

Hillary won in California by 3.9 million votes over Trump.  She leads the national vote by 2.2 million.  And Trump won with 306 electoral votes to Hillary's 232,  a margin of 74   . . . . .   a butt kicking.  How is this possible?  Because her "national lead" is all about California.  Take its 3.9 million out of the mix,  and,  Trump wins the popular vote in the remaining 49 states by 1.7 million votes.  Trump did not win a single electoral vote in California,  but he dominated in the remaining 49 states. 

You say,  "But California's popular vote counts,  too."  

Actually the popular does not count at all.  Besides this,  I am saying that the Dems pretend "the nation" voted for Hillary,  when in fact, California voted for her.  The popular vote went to Trump outside of California,  explaining why he won a sizable victory in the Electoral College and states such as Florida,  Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and more.    Finally,  "democracy" defined as "majority rule" does not benefit minority communities such as Gays,  the white-Irish, the Chinese American,  or any other minority.  We are a representative democracy or republic per the genius of our Founding Fathers.  Obama was not my choice because I hate totalitarian rule,  but I had to act like an adult about it,  for eight freaking years.  Now it is your turn so grow up.
