Most of the republicans I know are disappointed, but not so severely that they want to go killing people. That sort of extremism is very fringe. Also, even if you count the mellow majority, they're far from 50%.

Well I have some good news for you, they lost the election. A few of them may not like to admit that, but they lost nevertheless and any scenario where Biden or Harris isn't president a year from now is a delusion.

Well I have some bad news for you, they don't believe they lost the election.

Well the good news is that doesn't matter. They're sore losers but it won't amount to anything more than hot air, so take a deep breath and relax. Hit a blunt or something.

Do you really think that losing the election is going to make the Republicans go "huh, maybe we should stop trying to take away rights from millions of Americans? maybe we should stop treating millions of voters like trash?"
It's not.

It certainly didn't make Democrats reconsider taking the rights of millions of Americans away after they lost the midterms following the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban.

America has a pretty good history of peaceful transitions of power, and I expect that to continue. Republicans selected an asshole to represent them, and he's now lost the election. He can throw a fit with his lawyers, which will doubtlessly fail, and I fully expect Biden to take the presidency peacefully, as has happened in past American elections. That's the process at work.
People telling you that this time it's going to be a war or coup are trying to scare you. In retrospect, you will probably laugh at trump for being such a pathetically poor loser, and laugh at yourself for worrying about it.
