What are the odds that there will be an outbreak of violence if Drumpf is removed from office?

As it is the wingnuts are threatening all who oppose the orangutan in chief. What will they do if he is impeached, indicted or otherwise legally forced from the White House?

Drumpf has certainly incited the current violence and by attacking the institutions of our democracy, he is signaling to his followers that violence is justified.

I imagine that the overwhelming majority of MAGAts will react the same way Nixon lovers did back in the '70s when he was ousted: pretend like they never even heard of the guy and move on to someone else who represents their fucked-up worldview--like Pence, for instance.

turns a blind eye to violence from trumpers. What scares me more would be if federal law enforcement gets behind trump's fascism and bigotry and abhorrence for the law.

the right has been programmed with hate toward Liberals and the left in general.

I have heard many of them talk about a civil war, etc.

is far larger than an outbreak after his removal. Also, these stupid people get caught real quick. They may be slow learners, but they tend to have self-survival skills.

He's already ramped up violence and preparing for more...Border War upcoming, Immigrants, Overseas Wars, "Take 'em out" rhetoric, etc. And his verbal filth is repeatedly aired on news programs. That would stop, as well. Without a disturbed leader, these disturbed people are typically gutless.

Wonder where Jared and Ivanka are ... you know, the Jewish Senior White House Advisors. Probably traveling again...tail between their legs...overseas, as usual. Wouldn't bet on a condolence tweet to their Jewish brothers and sisters.

are bullshitting cowards that aren't going to do jack - especially when confronted with a police presence.

Like John Bolton, who was a fearless smack-talking tough guy about Russia, but turned into another Putin poodle in his presence, these bullies will be shitting in their pants when confronted. They'll largely do nothing, and have to accept that the law and the Constitution are going to prevail. Period!

11. There will be violence if they lose the House in November.

They are poor winners & even worse losers.

If they keep control of the House, expect extreme gloating & chortling & even more of white people calling the police on black people who are just living their lives. Expect more of that creep on the plane who groped the sleeping woman next to him because if Trump did it it must be okay. Until the nation wakes the fuck up & puts these spoiled brat bigots in a serious time-out corner without any supper, they are going to fuck with us. I'm not an advocate of spanking, but in this case, they need to be knocked down a few pegs. They've gotten to big for their britches, as my grandma would say.

You* want to be a racist/misogynist? You keep that in your private space. But out here, in the public sphere we don't take take that shit. You're gonna be shamed. We're gonna haunt you at restaurants & movies & shame you. We're gonna post videos of your bad behavior all over social media & shame you. Take your putrid selves back home until you learn how to conduct yourselves in the public space.

* A rant directed at the generic you, not the personal you.
