No, this is qualitatively different. The Republican front-runner has made it clear that *no matter what the outcome is* that he will not accept it, and that he is willing to foment armed rebellion in order to try to steal the result. This is not something that has happened in our lifetimes.
I don't see it as qualitatively different. Bush stole the election in 2000 with the force of the SCOTUS behind him. Just because nobody died doesn't mean it wasn't just as much of a stolen election as Trump tried to do in 2021.
Yes, and together with the coup attempt he already pulled, that should mean the Trumpofascism captured GOP is not treated as a legitimate or valid participant in the elections,but as a national security threat. And yet...
