For one, lots and lots of guns.
In all seriousness though, just because it is America, it is not guaranteed that these things won't happen.
What is guaranteed -- and this is what we're observing -- is that these things will be handled differently.

Compare and contrast:
Exhibit A: the first openly fraudulent election in Russia was in 2011 (Congress election), 60,000 citizens infuriated by blatant cheating marched in Moscow and a number of other cities.
Result: multiple arrests and long prison sentences, zero consequences for powers-that-be followed by 2012 and 2018 brazenly fraudulent presidential elections and a 2020 "referendum" that "zeroed out" Putin's time in office, so he'll remain there for life.

Exhibit B: the first openly fraudulent election in the US: worldwide chatter, "nothing's over," and we'll definitely pull through (unless the leftists start executing people in broad daylight, I surmise).

The difference is the system. The US is not a land of prosperity and opportunity because nothing bad ever happens here -- it is because it's been rationally designed to withstand attacks on its system of governance and its people.
