TBH, of there’s going to be a right/left battle, the sooner the better - though, i expect there will be some noise, and the Democrats won’t change, and the Republicans won’t change, and tensions will continue to grow until abated via another avenue.

there will be much rejoicing

What I’d like is for Kamala to get in office and appoint a wicked sharp attorney general who would aggressively prosecute anyone associated with Jan 6 and Trumps many other crimes.

However, I predict Trump will get off scott free as he always has and continue being a rallying focus point for the extreme right wing. But there will be no widespread uprising. There will be legal challenges to the election, which will all fail.

If Trump survives long enough he’ll try to run again in 2028, and if he can’t run he’ll try to mess things up for any republican candidate. He’ll continue to throw a monkey wrench into any legislation that would make Democrats look good, either to improve his chances next election or just for spite.

Ideally? He flees the country like a coward, and the Republican party implodes under the strain of infighting to be his successor.

There might be another Capitol Riot-style clownshow, but like the first time, nothing of real significance will happen. A few zealots and or cops might die, but nothing rising to the level of a “blood bath”, let alone a “civil war”.

I don’t think Trump was being literal when he said bloodbath though. It’s a common English idiom.

Same as ever. Someone will organize protest and then the same bad faith actor will also organize counter protests. Predictably, the police will be on the Republicans side.

First Trump’s idiots will do something stupid. Then Kamala will overreact and do something stupid which infringes on all our freedoms, like extra spying and cracking down on speech and curtailing the right to protest.

Whoever wins we’re going to have a right wing government with insufferable fans.

nothing will fundamentally change

Bloodbath? Not sure, depends on how close the election is, because if it’s close then Trumps cronies who are in posts of election officials will try to manipulate the votes and it could be enough to call into question Harris’ win in the eyes of some, leading to another Jan 6 type situation, but probably more widespread this time around.

If Harris wins by a landslide I think there will be some grumbling and bitching but for the most part people will accept it.

If the election is REALLY close (like Al Gore v Bush) and Harris wins I think things could get pretty dirty in certain states.

Trump supporters generally are cowardly cattle. A few can obviously be riled up and pushed to do violence, but not enough to do any real damage. I mean in terms of a civil war. January 6th was a unique situation that will be better prepared for next time.

Only about 30% of people even like trump; probably about 1% of those people are able-bodied, have weapons, have nothing to lose, and could be convinced to kill for him. Of course that’s still like a million people, which sure as shit ain’t nothing, but they’re spread out, unorganized, and still very few compared to military numbers. As for the block of people who would identify as not supporting trump, I couldn’t really guess numbers, but people are wildly mistaken to think that only people on the right have guns; we just don’t have murder boners or make guns our whole personality. I hope I only ever use my guns for target practice, but I’m absolutely ready to use them to defend my home and family if ever necessary, and I’m not interesting enough to have any reason to believe that that’s a likely scenario. Honestly, my biggest concern on that threat is a scenario where trump wins and releases voter registration info and SuGgEsTs that the second amendment folks do something about those tricksy democratses. The only other people dumb enough to break in while I’m home are cops, and I know that the courtroom is where you fight that flavor of fascism.

Generally speaking, regarding the big question here of what will happen if Harris wins, I think that the answer is “nothing shocking”. There will be claims of an unfair election process, maybe some meek attempts at insurrection, continued prosecution and convictions for trump’s crimes (and probably slap on the hand sentences). The economy will gently recover, the future will be invested in, maybe some rights get legislatively protected. Military and police funding will continue to balloon forever. We’ll still fund genocides and fuck with any country that pivots toward socialism. “Nothing will fundamentally change” but it’s a hell of a lot better than the alternative.

Then after 4 years of sexism and racism on OAN and Fox News, Desantis or a similar creep wins the presidency in '28. They roll back everything they possibly can and fuck the country up for the profits of billionaires and corporations again. Because reasonable people will get too comfortable to care enough, but unreasonable people can’t stop foaming at the mouth over every weekly culture war.

When trump is finally gone, trumpism will still remain. And it will have prettier packaging. That’s when it gets really scary imo.

I think there will be some protests, some violence, but it will be much smaller than the protesters want it to be, and any violence will be swiftly met with law and order.

Jan 6 happened in part because Trump was in power. Election deniers in every state tried to gum up the works, and will try again. But Trump is not in power. He cannot exchange favors or offer pardons. People obstructing the democratic process will be arrested and prosecuted.

We know one thing for sure… Genocide in Palestine will continue as scheduled.

But hey vote my guy, trust me bro… she will deff save the Palestinians. She has not pro israel bias as woman married to a jew

If it’s close the Supreme Court will steal the election for Trump. Kamala needs a blowout victory and I just don’t think that’s in the cards.
