Assuming it's not some kind of state legislature coup and an actual legitimate victory, then yes, we will have to accept the consequences America has brought onto itself and hope for the best.

Ultimately, there are millions of people living in China, Russia, and other countries who figure out how to be happy despite not living in a free country, and we'll have to try to see if we can too.

Trump is more like Berlusconi, Netanyahu or at worst a Yeltsin(though even the latter is going to far) than Xi or Putin .

Do you think Netanyahu would outright deny it if he loses in Israel's next general election? Would he try dozens of frivolous lawsuits to get himself declared the winner (as in not extra recounts or whatever, just a judicial coup on the people)? After those failed, would he send a violent mob to the Knesset to try to overthrow the Israeli government by force?

I don't think he would. Netanyahu is beyond terrible, but he's not on Trump's level. Putin and Xi, however, would have no qualms about using violence to hold on to power if that's what it took.
