Democrats have quite a history of claiming that elections were stolen. When the Republicans made the same claim, they called it nonsense. https://www.wsj.com/articles/democrats-invented-election-denial-2005-bush-kerry-clyburn-jan-6-voting-machines-maga-republicans-biden-speech-11662581117?st=QkDCPa&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

I could go on, but you get the idea. It's all about playing the music of their people, and/or shaping it with propaganda. Democracy is a joke when we get to vote for the people on the ballot, rather than who we'd like to see on the ballot. Trump, unacceptable to people who stack the deck created chaos when he won and all of the forces of heaven, hell will continue to work against him.
Republicans complained about the Stalinesque stacked courts sought to destroy Trump and his enablers. Now Trump wants to "drain the swamp" and go after Biden's cronies and the Democrats protest. Banana Republic.
And then there is the relentless ad hominem accusations of Nazi, Fascist, Racist, Sexist, etc. that cause the words to have no meaning, even if or when they are true.
If we can't learn to debate and negotiate in good faith, we could end up picking up rifles to settle it. A horror that those who have not witnessed it personally cannot actually comprehend fully. I understand your desire to call out what you see, but is it helpful and where will it lead? And where will it lead if we don't. Sometimes it's not just what you say, but how you say it.
