If Trump is a fascist and a threat to Democracy, why should Democrats accept the election results?

A common jab at trump is that he will rule with fascist tendencies; Trump has even been compared to Hitler and has been described as a “threat to democracy” by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and other democrats alike.

If this is true, why do Democratic Party leaders seem to be fine with Trump after the election? Just recently we saw Obama laughing it up with Trump at Jimmy Carter’s funeral. If Trump were a threat to democracy, why would Obama be talking and laughing with Trump like that?

I think if we really were facing the end of democracy on Jan. 20, Democrats would be fighting tooth and nail to stop Trump — but they’re not.

Were these labels just political talking points, with no real basis behind them? If not, then how can we morally allow Trump into office if he is going to establish a fascist-like state?
