In your last sentence, I agree that both mainstream choices were horrific but disagree on which was the worst. The other horrible choice would have left the existing BAD system in place that was also tearing down our Constitution and freedom but at a slower pace. Now we've had a Molotov Cocktail thrown on the whole thing to burn it down quickly.

The issue facing our nation *should*  b- but so far it's largely not - an issue that transcends party, ideology, left/right. It's a direct attack on our Constitution and Republic and truly is a cousin to the Taliban or Wahahabi-ism or whatever-ism that would overrun the very rights and freedoms our country was  founded upon.

Even if you agree with the policies being attempted the method of silencing/discrediting the press,  overriding freedom of/from religion, reduction of privacy, freedom of movement, freedom from unlawful search, right to peacefully petition the government, free and open elections should be horrifying to ALL Americans.
