You know, here in Philly,

For years and years the police officers and mayor’s office used to ruminate that if the Eagles by some strange series of coincidences and bad Luck happen to win the Super Bowl, the fans will destroy the city. They will burn it down and leave it in ruins and nothing will ever be the same here. So we should pray for the Eagles to not win the Super Bowl because our lives will never be the same.

So You know what? Eagles did win the Super Bowl and they had a terrific parade a couple days later. and they were tens of thousands of people there and it was wonderful, and the city did not get burned down and nothing really untoward happened, and order was restored within a few hours and business went back to perfectly normal in Center City Philadelphia. The neighborhoods were not trashed, the people were not assaulted, raped, or pillaged.

So I say all this to make the point that when Trump loses, nothing untoward in terms of violence is going to happen here in the United States. He will vacate the White House, Mr. Biden and his family will move into the White House, and the west wing of the White House will be occupied by individuals who want what’s truly best for America. For a change. There isn’t going to be any armed attempted takeover of the state capitals, or the federal government by insurrectionists. These kind of scare tactics will not work. If they were to attempt an armed assault upon a state Capitol, the perpetrators would be eradicated like the Anopheles mosquito. Now rest easy and vote!

Lived up to it's name.

I agree with you for the most part. I think there will be pockets of riled up individuals and groups across the US who will act out in violent, hostile, aggressive ways. It won't be happening everywhere, but I do expect to hear about episodes.

I also expect most who are violent to get caught. There aren't many of them, but they make a big noise and can cause harm. Many are being tracked by our feds; they caught the domestic terrorists going after Whitmire. Those promoting insurrection after the election are surely being investigated. There will be a few crazies not caught in the net, and they will be the ones causing chaos, which won't be more than they've been doing over the past 4 years or more.

Domestic terrorists and hate groups will be prosecuted under Biden's administration. They've felt empowered, validated, encouraged by the current administration, where no behaviors are unacceptable.
