The danger that I see lies within us. We know that the Trump cult will continue to say wild and
irrational things and we know that some of them will engage in violence against any who do not also worship at his altar. That sort of thing is now, sadly, pretty much a given.
But, what about us---the rational, tolerant, law-abiding folks who just want to resume our pre-Trump lives?
We have been intentionally stressed for over five years by a "man" we all agree is the worst White House Occupant in our lifetimes; someone who couldn't survive in the world we live in without being fired from job after job, shunned by all who had to deal with him and likely having more than one husband, father or boyfriend opening up the famous "can o' whoopass" on him.
We all have our limits. My fear is that if the marginally sane remnants of what used to be the "Party of Lincoln" cannot soon bring the Trump Error to a clear and irreversible end, something---or someone---is going to pop. One of the Trump Army will one day hurl an obscene insult, a racial epithet or a sexual vulgarity at a good person who is just out of fucks to to give and they are going to get an asswhoopin' that belongs to Trump. One incident could lead to another and militias across the country could set out to fulfill Limbaugh's oft-stated dream of "hunting down liberals with dogs".
Barring a situation of genuine self defense, the "good person" who could set this in motion will not be me. We are better than they are and we are smart enough to recognize attempts at provocation. To paraphrase President Obama, "Don't punch; VOTE!"
And, work your butt off to GOTV and pass our voting rights bill.
