There will be political violence no matter what the election outcome. If he wins it will be post inauguration. If he loses it will be to try and take power.
There has already been too much political violence this election cycle with two assassination attempts.
Until Trump and his MAGA party are put in their place, either by rule of law or the impact of that violence, we will have violence.
Trump is just the fucking symptom. He's terrible but nothing compared to the foaming at the mouse acolytes he has.
We need to make it impossible for this to ever happen again. I just don't see this happening without another civil war.
Trump is also the Lightning rod: Lightning strikes might be less frequent or less focused if he weren’t there
Personally I believe it will be a typical curve:
This is solid summary, Trump has a cult of personality which are rarely transferable once he goes the entire thing will implode. Plus given how Trump motivates otherwise apolitical folks who didnt care beforehand theres a solid chance some of them would just go back to not caring.
I know it's an autocorrect error, but "foaming at the mouse acolytes"actually works here. "The Mouse" aka Disney. Hah!
I just saw this article and I think it's wild.
