You make it seem like everything he did during the transfer of power was normal. It was anything but normal. Think back on how the transfer of power occurred between Bush to Obama and Obama to Trump. You can't see the difference? He wasn't sworn in "just fine". He was sworn in with half the population thinking that the election was cheated from them. These are all lies that were fed through Trump. It's asinine at this point to deny the fact that everything he did was anything but normal. At this point, don't try to rationalize Trump's actions and simply say that you support his agenda. At least you won't have to jump through hoops to explain the reality of the situation.
Lets think of those normal things Trump did during the transfer of power. He transferred power. He left the white house, delivered a farewell address, turned over the nuclear football and flew to mar-a-lago.
The presidency passed to Biden on the exact minute it was supposed to, he was sworn in by John Roberts.
Now lets think of the abnormal things that happened in the transitions you specified. Barack Obama held a meeting with Joe Biden and James Comey in the oval office in which he gave his intelligence community an order to spy on Donald Trump and try to sabotage the incoming presidency. Obama spent his last week in office passing a series of executive orders all designed purely out of spite to try to kneecap the Trump administration in its first few weeks, measures that both Obama and Clinton had consistently opposed but knew would cause Trump a headache to undo, like ending the US veto on condemning Israel, passing regulations on refrigerants, passing federal money to planned parenthood, etc. Obama's allies in the IC proceeded to not just spy on Trump but even attempt ridiculous sting operations like out of a Le Carre novel to entrap Trump administration officials on false accusations of colluding with Russia, even though they knew perfectly well it was a bullshit accusation. Obama tried to fuel a conspiracy that Trump's election was illegitimate, tried to stir up his supporters into calling Trump an illegitimate president. Numerous democrats rioted around the country and attacked capitols, including family members of sitting democratic politicians like the adult son of Hillary's running mate who was arrested in MN.
Obama committed high crimes in his last few days in office, weaponizing the intelligence community in a way far worse than the watergate scandal. He didn't have to worry about being impeached anymore. He coordinated with the liberal media to spend years denying the election results and desperately arguing they should be overturned on the basis of a conspiracy theory about non-existent russian collusion. Joe Biden too was an activate participant in aiding and abetting insurrectionist mobs who attacked the DC capitol on that occasion, as well as later unrest like the George Floyd riots.
Everything I just said is no less valid than the nonsense going on in Colorado and Maine. And at least there's a substantial difference in that we have proof Obama and Biden engaged in
actual wrongdoing and conspiracies and corruption, not like Trump's pointless flailing.
