(52,163 posts)He merely took control of it. Once he's gone, others will try to do the same thing, and it may work. The cult won't go away, certainly not quietly.

(15,641 posts)up targets for their anger in the form of liberals, people of color, lgbtq, non-Christians, immigrants and independent women routinely for decades by wealthy white male would-be aristocrats in order to supplant democracy with their aristocracy. They are a cult of easily manipulated malcontents and deplorables. Trump was nothing more than a figure-head for those at the root of this those like the Kochs who go back to the John Birch Society and before. They wont give up just because Trump has fallen, and they wont give up their cult. Why would they? It has brought them almost to the pinnacle.

I wouldn't even be shocked if it were fewer than NYC.

I dont imagine war per se but some nasty guerrilla treason and some very tough decisions to make between federal and state governments.

stopdiggin
(11,285 posts)why anyone should be playing in to this delusional nonsense. Why offer any degree of validation?
There will be no riots. There will barely be any demonstrations. And - as with the last handful of (very sad) Trump rallies - the handful of overweight protesters that might actually show up - will be outnumbered 5 to 1 by TV cameras and thoroughly bored uniforms.
