I know some people are worried about violence and I understand and share that fear, but I cannot imagine how the next two-months-and-change will be more dangerous with regards to them than another four years or more with their god-king undefeated.
I& #39;ve said before and I will say again that Trump is not at his most dangerous when he& #39;s cornered and wounded, but when he feels vindicated and invincible.
As tense as this week has been, I think the way things have unfolded may be one of the safer paths. Trump& #39;s disorganized, shambolic legal and public relations approach in the early days speaks of a lack of confidence and lack of ability to enact more forceful approaches.
They take their lead from him, though. And yeah, some of them are eager to fight, but they& #39;d be more emboldened if he were emboldened.
I& #39;d be more afraid right now if he& #39;d won. Of violence from them right now, not in the future. https://twitter.com/naogannet/status/1325165399839825920">https://twitter.com/naogannet...

A lot (not all, but a lot) of the people who want a "Day of the Rope" are reeling and confused and licking their psychic wounds right now. They don& #39;t know what& #39;s happening, they don& #39;t feel like this country is theirs or has their back anymore.
I think there would be a lot more right-wing mobs out there with guns calling open season if they& #39;d had their victory. I would be more afraid of their celebration than I am of their retaliation, at this moment in time, with the way things have unfolded.
