No. Just no. You're simply wrong. Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, these guys would not have had their justice departments order federal law enforcement to disobey the court order or attempted to undermine the legitimacy of a judicial ruling they didn't like. They would simply have disagreed with the ruling. They certainly would not have started a fight with the FBI and CIA, that's just obvious, there's no conflict between them. None of them would have accused the former president of a crime without evidence, nor would they have tried to convince the public that millions of people voted illegally without evidence. They would not have declared the press to be the "enemy of the American people", and if you need proof of that, just listen to George W. Bush's response to that travesty.
You do not get that this guy is different. You're failing to grasp what should be obvious to you. That said, I think there are millions of people who were in a like position on election day, or he wouldn't have won. But it's really depressing to hear from one of them.
P.S. - you're also wrong on policy; none of the GOP nominees were proposing a physical border wall or mass deportations or immigration bans. But that's beside the point. Even if they had, they would be preferable to this. A run of the mill GOP presidency would be unpleasant for many people, but would be an easily survivable event. The Trump presidency, well, close your eyes and pray that the damage isn't irreparable.
