This false equivalency is maddening, and it's precisely how we in the US have gotten into this mess. A handful of electors being harassed cannot be credibly compared to the mainstreaming of the so-called "alt-right" that has built a movement so powerful that it's taken ownership of one of our two major political parties and now controls the levers of power. Some of Trump's voters wanted a fascist strongman, some didn't, but we're all about to get one, and if you can't see the Trumpist base as something unique and far more problematic than a few people sending nasty emails in a desperate attempt to stop him from taking power, well, talk to me in a couple of years.
