How likely is right wing insurgent backlash?

[superpatriotman]

Radical cultists, unaware fascists, angry neckbeards, Q idiots, religious fanatics...

That’s the modern republic party. They’re not, IMO, going to go gently into that good night.

Please stay alert and be careful out there.

1. 100 percent, more a matter of scale IMO.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Will be something. Unlikely to more than a few isolated incidents or mostly mobs with guns bloviatin

3. Have you read the delusional rantings on Freeperville?

They are exactly parroting Trump, “All the ballots counted after Election Day are fraudulent.”

4. To HELL with them!

The spell is broken. Let the first of these wannabe warriors step up and get smacked down in spectacular fashion, serving as a warning to those who would follow.

5. As likely as the sun coming up every morning. EOM

[TwilightZone]

6. I think there will be isolated incidents, but nothing on a large scale.

At heart, most of these jackasses are cowards and bullies, like their hero. I think the threat of any kind of widespread violence is probably overstated. There will undoubtedly be some isolated incidents, but that's been the case for years now.

8. with out Trump

they will fall apart like wet toilet paper

McConnels biggest worry in GA is that Trump is not on the ballot

10. With Bannon calling for beheadings and Don the Con Jr calling for all out war

the more unstable ones of the unstable tRump supporters become more dangerous. The RW militias, neo-Nazi groups, and the ignorant others who got their Democracy learnin' at tRump rallies believe they're doing the right thing.
They are the zealous lunatics. They are ridiculous and pitiable but they are also unpredictable and dangerous.

11. I'm pretty sure that the various Fed. agencies, particularly the FBI, have

infiltrated these RWNJ groups and are poised to sweep down on them at the first signs of any insurrection.

12. There is a real danger here

Even in the best scenario, there are some very dangerous and deluded people out there who feel cheated right now.

Under the worst scenario, Trump stirs them up, rallies them together and gives them reasons to believe their anger is actually reasonable.

The takeaway is that what Trump is doing is incredibly dangerous. He is taking a smoldering fire and throwing gasoline on it.

What's worse is that his actions could also get a lot of angry progressives out into the street as well. That has the possibility to make the situation more dangerous and confrontational.

I have said before and will say again. People are going to get killed before this is all over unless Trump backs down and concedes very soon. He won't so people will suffer.

And all that is just the short term. In the long term, we will have an ungovernable mass in 40% of the Country.

13. Sadly, if there is violence much of it will be directed

toward folks who are most vulnerable. Bullies generally only pick on people they know are less likely to be able to fight back.

I have friends with mixed-race children who are very anxious about what happens next.

14. And that is when the rest of us able people stand between the crazies and the vulnerable.
