Which is a tremendous advantage.

I really don’t think it will come to that. I hope not anyway.

We do not discuss politics in any way, shape, or form with anyone. Do not want to identify our party. Even if someone (clerk, etc.) says how great it went, we don't respond. We say "You know, we just aren't very political!" and move on.

trump being trump, I would think he would be mad at his cult members for not being there for him in numbers that matter.

The more relevant question is whether or not he will exercise the restraint to avoid being perceived as calling for it.

And no, he will not do that, either.

The MAGAs we see at protests or those with signs still up and Trump flags flying are a very tiny percentage of the 70 million who voted for him.

I live in a deep red section of Michigan and while out and about, I see no indication of anything that would cause me to think otherwise.

a group like Democrats standing in line at the polls is easier and quicker than finding the individuals of that group. So the scenario becomes ineffective for two reasons - size and timing. Then leadership collapsed, making it a tougher decision for the supporters, unsure if they have any backup. I think that authorities know the playing field pretty damn good and will keep it under control.
