I believe that Trump and his followers will continue to incite riots and terroristic attacks, not just on inauguration day, but for months afterward. He feels no remorse. He wants revenge if he can't force a reversal of the election. And he wants to retain political power and significance. He likes the idea of being able to call upon thugs at his will. I would not be surprised if he slipped the country in order to try doing it from a distance that is safe for him from US actions.
Better have TRIPLE security when Biden is sworn in. Not just in DC, but across the country.

(22,230 posts)They are pleased to be called insurrectionists. They see themselves as national heroes.
The term "terrorist" fits them and their actions better. They intend to wear down our governing system and society with continued terrorism and support from RW politicians and pundits in the belief that they will win in the end.
It is our duty to see that they don't. Not through violence, but through continued political activism in getting our people elected at all levels, local, state, and national. We do it through promotion of knowledge about government. We do it by promoting American values of social justice and equal rights. We do it by peaceful protests. We do it by fighting against sytemic racism until the system is no longer racist.
We oppose Trumpism and American fascism in how we live and work in our daily lives as well as through political activism. And we do it by holding the Trumpists, fascists, promoters of coups and corruption accountable for their actions. We insist on not just investigations, but on actions -- arrests and trials -- of perpetrators. We hold our elected officials responsible for their duty to pusue actions against terrorists and insurrectionists in our government, on our police forces, and in our streets.

(14,632 posts)By continuing to lie he about the election, he is giving more ammunition to the cult who will take it as a call to action. His latest statement didnt change a damn thing. His cult will continue to commit violence to right a perceived wrong against Dear Leader.

(22,230 posts)that will not end soon. We saw what RW politicians and extremists did in Obama's administration. They have now moved beyond verbal disinformation and threats to physical violence in the seat of government. This makes "You lie" in the State of the Union address look pale in comparison.
Adolf and his thugs did not stop after the failed Beer Hall Putsch. Mao spent years fighting to rule China.
Trumpism is the name now given to a movement that existed in the US before Trump entered politics. He gave the movement power and legitimacy, but did not found it. There are politicians in the US and followers who will continue their RW extremism. Some will publicly denounce Trump's failed coup while privately hoping to benefit from the movement and from Trump's continued attempts to lead it after leaving office.
