The bolded just inverts cause and effect, making those who recognize of the problem the "real" problem.

It's the Trumpers who are "convicting people of future crime"--stealing elections. 
That's why anti-democratic legislation and even violence are now "appropriate steps" for the Trump base.

The OP offers, first, a largely structural analysis of the current political crisis, including legislation actually passed and a violent assault on the Capitol. It then draws out the crisis' likely implications--none of which is that "any action is appropriate to deal with such danger." 

Quite the opposite.
