28. There won't be riots or civil war.

The vast majority of anyone who would do anything besides post angry comments online or gather in groups of 30 with signs were already identified after Jan 6th. Most people are all talk and would not lift a finger to help him in any way.

This notion that there are millions of MAGAs ready to take up arms to defend him is a myth. There would be some rallies here and there. There would be Congress people screaming and yelling. But there would be no wide spread riots.

Prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.
