Newsflash, they said that in 2018 too and he got curbstomped in his midterms.
How do you guys see this stuff playing out? My neighbor is a Trump fanatic but I share beers with him all the time. Is he going to change his mind and start shooting up neighborhoods? The civil war had clear lines (an idiotic move by the founders, fudge those guys), where are the lines here? There's opposing signs all across the state. Where does the shooting start?
Outside of a few Kyle Rittenhouse type nutjobs I dont see GoP voters getting violent. Isolated violence only reflects negatively on a party so I see any crackpots using their 2A to oppose Biden pushing support his way. I mourn any lives lost but those are 100% on Trump's shoulders.
Hopefully you can get enough beers into your neighbor to incapacitate him.
I'm kidding.
I suspect that you are right and your neighbor is harmless. I think you are right that the majority of Trumpists will just drown their sorrows and cry in their beers. 90%? 95%? 98%? The difference is that I am more concerned about the damage that a few can do. Shooting up neighborhoods isn't a problem, except for the people in the neighborhood. But the level of dependence on infrastructure really is never overestimated. You are underestimating it by far. It only takes a small fraction of Trumpists going full whackjob to unwind the delicate structures we all rely on.
