Yeah that's called being from two different political parties with opposing political agendas. Obama spent his time undoing George W Bush's legacy, Trump undid Obama's, Biden undid Trump's
'60 lawsuits' are how it got to the supreme court. But unlike your hypothetical, Trump actually did concede, packed up his stuff and left the white house.
The difference here is that when the shoe was on the other foot and Donald Trump had the opportunity to plunge our nation into a bitter cutthroat strife to persecute his political rivals like Clinton, Biden and Obama over their transgressions in 2016- complaints he could have borne out of legitimate grievance over being spied upon and the democratic primary being so blatantly rigged- Donald Trump did not. For all his pugilism and coarseness, he wasn't the one to debase the office of the presidency and choose the path of conflict, division and totalitarianism.
And it doesn't help when the guy acting like a totalitarian dictator also dresses up like one
and yet despite the fact that Gore almost certainly won fair and square, and despite the fact that the punchcards that caused the issue were forever thereafter discontinued, and despite the fact that the court cases only happened because a recount was stopped by a literal mob perpetrated by Roger Stone and other republican operatives. despite all of this, the SCOTUS decided the case by December and Bush took office with a peaceful transfer of power between Clinton and Bush and a general lack of mudslinging thereafter.
the idea you'd use gore who had a legitimate case, and peacefully conceded with no further protest, as a parallel is laughably dishonest. im just gonna assume any further defenses are trolling because thats beyond dumb lol.
