What's the difference??

From a political science student, I want to know if Trumps rhetoric regarding the rigged election, challenging the election, etc. is precedented. It seems to me that this is incredibly dangerous as tens of millions of people are incredibly devoted Trump supporters (note the woman who told Mike Pence she was ready to start a revolution if Hillary wins).

Is speech like this a historically unprecedented challenge to democracy? Is it founded in any sort of truth?

Keep an open mind. You're only 14. Go to college. Do what you want to do. You can always be a politician no matter what background you have. Don't be too eager to label yourself.

Work hard. That's the best advice you can get.

I did some low level internship in this field and am obviously no attorney, but can pretty confidently say the standard legal advice here is “shut the fuck up and well call you if we need you to not shut up”
