I have no doubt that when Kamala is declared the winner, Trump will have a shit fit and order his "troops" into full attack mode.
It's going to get really ugly for a while. But Joe Biden is still the President of the United States. He's not going to sit in a dining room near the Oval Office watching it all unfold on TV, or throw ketchup at the wall. He will use all the powers at his command to help state governors and city mayors put an end to violence and any acts of insurrection. Not too many in the "insane MAGA sector" will want to stand up against National Guard weaponry.
But the real issue is, what happens after the temper tantrum is over?
Some think Trump will leave the country. Some think he'll O.D. on McDonald's cheeseburgers.
I think he'll slowly, or perhaps quickly, become yesterday's news. And by the time Kamala Harris is sworn in as President, not many will really give a damn about him, or pay any attention to his ranting.
Nonetheless, as he melts away, Trumpism will still be with us. He unleashed a firestorm that won't die down overnight.
He'll go down in history as a would-be tyrant, and many books will be written about how a con man, and a totally ignorant, cruel, mindless man got so close to destroying American democracy.
So what will he do after he loses? Perhaps he'll be in jail, or under house arrest, or maybe even have a stroke. Whatever his future is, I don't give a damn about him. I have no sympathy or empathy for him. I consider him to be a deadly disease. And I just want him to go the fuck away. -- And his fascist enablers will crawl back into their caves and wait for their next opportunity.

Hes not going anywhere. Hell fundraise off the dopes in perpetuity and then probably run again in 28 if hes still alive.

(15,388 posts)the crimes that Trump has been convicted of, do jail time. (You know she's done her homework on this.)
So will Trump get "special treatment?" Is he "Above the law?"
We'll find out on November 26th, the court date set for his sentencing.

Lemon Lyman
(1,594 posts)He'll throw a moody and lyingly claim that he only lost due to fraud. He'll whine and keep his crowd ginned up.
He won't flee to another country. He won't go to jail. He'll get probation or some other slap on the wrist. He won't go away either. He's not going away. He's incapable. He cannot live without attention. He always got attention, but when he ran for president, he got TONS more. He'll never quit that. We'll be hearing from him & about him until he dies.

(5,103 posts)He will claim election was stolen part 2. He will instigate another insurrection. Insurrection Part 2.
If he loses and ends up doing jail time, he will become a martyr to the MAGAts and I fully expect ugliness and even violence towards the Dems.
If he somehow avoids jail time, he will run the "opposition". He will also get his traitorous billionaire friends (especially the 2 south africans) to fund said opposition, with twitter becoming the de-facto Foxnews/OANN/newsmax on steroids online propaganda arm.
