There is zero chance that there is not going to be fairly significant violence from Trump’s supporters between November and January.
It will happen, absolutely no matter what.
Either he’s going to lose, in which case they’re going to engage in retaliatory and/or insurrectionary violence, or he’s going to win (or be handed the win by the Supreme Court Rubber-stamping Service), in which case they’re going to engage in celebratory, very enthusiastic and likely officially sanctioned violence.
That’s it. At this point, there is no third option. Trump, in his pathological narcissism and complete lack of empathy or sound reason, has fostered an atmosphere of anger and hatred, and it’s not a question of if it will result in violence and murder, but simply of when and of what specifically will touch it off.
When Obama was sending the Seals after Obama, Biden was trying to talk him out of it. I mean look at the bag of cement he appointed as AG. Biden won’t say boo to a goose.
This is why I encourage every other left-wing person I meet to arm themselves, if they have the means. MAGA is already armed to the teeth, so we might as well be. We can’t just be sitting ducks.

At least trump isn’t the incumbent this time, Biden can let the National Guard deal with them. FAFO
Biden is extraordinarily risk-averse.

Third Option: Trump dies this year, and again violence.
Surely someone really wants to impress a 20-something actress.
