Let's be accurate...there have been a handful, though only a handful, of elected R's rejecting this coup path.
True. And Mitt Romney came out with the strongest statement, so good for him. He's doing much more good as a Senator than he ever did as a 1%er capitalist.

Many Americans who brand Trump and his allies as fascists are paying too little attention to abuses in Hong Kong and cultural genocide in Xinjiang.

Hmmm..The Atlantic, that bastion of far left progressives, has the gall to critique China's regime? The horror!
Let me try this..."fascists" come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and flavors. We should be wary of all such.

Hey if it gives Biden a chance at a legislative agenda. (and really even with the tie in the Senate there is no chance of some sort of far left movement as you have senators like Manchin, etc that will keep limits on what happens).

Protesters have descended on the houses of the GOP state House speaker in Pennsylvania and the Democratic secretary of state in Michigan, chanting, “Stop the steal.” Some have been armed.
That Pennsylvania official has received thousands and thousands of voice mails, prompting his office to describe the pressure on him as “intense.” And the Michigan secretary of state has said her 4-year-old child felt threatened.
More broadly, as Reuters reports, “Elections officials across the United States” have described a “tide of intimidation, harassment and outright threats.”
Meanwhile, dozens of low-level state legislators in Pennsylvania — apparently reflecting the will of their voters — have called on Congress to object to the pro-Biden electors when Congress counts the electoral college votes.
These actions do not reflect a mere belief about who won the election. They constitute a series of demands for active moves of one sort or another.
Their general thrust is that Republican legislators should appoint pro-Trump electors — in direct defiance of their own state laws stipulating that electors are chosen by popular vote. Or that Congress should reject legitimate electors. Or that Democratic officials should not certify the popular vote outcomes in their states.
It doesn’t matter if these demands are bound to fail, though that’s a relief. What matters is that they are demands that elected officials act outside the law to overturn the election’s true and legitimate outcome, to keep Trump in power extralegally.
Whatever those calling for such actions really “believe,” the more important point is that they are explicitly declaring that the rules governing how election results are determined under fraught conditions are entirely disposable when they produce unwanted outcomes.

I actually went to the AZ GOP twitter page to confirm this -- because I still cannot really get my head around it. Well, there's no fixing this in any kind of short term:

You do know that Donald Trump—a racist, bigoted, misogynistic, narcissistic, authoritarian piece of trash—is the greatest threat to American democracy since Joseph McCarthy?

I would say he has surpassed McCarthy. In fact, I would say he has been the person who has posed the single biggest threat to our democracy in our nation's history.
The only event that definitely posed a greater threat to the country's continued existence was the Civil War. It is arguable whether T**** has been a greater threat to the country than the Great Depression or WWII. I would probably put both of them ahead of T****, but it is fairly debatable.

Well, so far Trump and his followers have only killed half as many Americans as WWII.

Covid is truly a sad situation.
But equally sad is that many of the concerned posters here, Biden, and the rest of the pro abortion crowd have allow 600,000 plus unborn children to be vacuumed out EACH YEAR.
Yet according to them that’s a “choice.” Not a tragedy like this pandemic.
Hmmm.

Oddly, for someone who has been wrong and off base on almost every take, prognostication and prediction you’ve EVER posted here and on Laxpower, your arrogance is fantastic.
You are a terrific troll.
