No prior sitting president has ever refused to accept the outcome of an election.
Violence had never been used before as a tool in an attempt to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
No president has ever praised and pardoned violent felons who were acting in his name and committing crimes in an effort to benefit his political prospects.
So, you can refer to how bad the Democrats are, and I'd likely agree with many of your comments. Our political system is awash in cash, provided by people who are investing in their own self-interest and uninterested in what's best for the country or average Joes like you and me. That is a systemic, not party, issue.
But to my three points above, those actions are incompatible with a functioning republic. This has been proven many times throughout history. They aren't just about politics; they are a different and more harmful development and should be seen as such. Our electorate, or I should say 49.9% of our electorate, decided the price of eggs and number of genders (among others) were more important issues. Now we all get to see how that works out.
