I think they are going to be the problem once all of Trump’s avenues to overturn the votes are exhausted. They are relatively quiet right now because they are watching the process and are still being assured by Trump that he won.

The rabid supporters in my area are completely loyal to Trump and some of them are antsy to prove that. They whip one another into a frenzy just like a cult. They have a structure with a leader of each small band of supporters. There are a lot of them around here. They have guns.

The police are on their side for the most part.

Who will save us from them when they go ballistic when they are told Trump has no further recourse?

Democratic leadership scares me because during the moments of wanting us all to come together, healing the country and “going high”, they forget these groups and that they are going to have to be dealt with. There will be no reasoning with these crazies. There needs to be a plan in place to handle the almost certain repercussions and mayhem that these groups may cause.
