Oh, I get it, but is this kind of nonsense going to magically end with a Trump loss? People who behave as such in that video will only feel even more empowered if Trump loses; it'll be the call to action they need to escalate beyond even this aggressive harassment; they'll feel the need to take "their" country back. Let's not forget, Trump isn't personally (as in face to face) endorsing this behavior; he's not personally sanctioning these people to fight for what they believe and feel (and as I type that, I can easily see how one could argue otherwise; he might not be outright saying "take to the streets in violent outrage," but he "implies," for both side's to interpret however they see fit, that his loss will be a bad thing.) These people already feel this way, be they cops, military or private citizens; Trump's presence and behavior in the White House has only emboldened them. At the least, if Trump is re-elected, they can feel momentarily placated and not the need to go even more extreme than they already are.
Now, that being said, don't for a moment think anything of that line of thinking is my tacit wish for his re-election; I'd rather fight the war with him out of power than with him in it if I have to fight at all. I'd rather start the healing process with anyone other than him, even if that means a bit more immediate pain, but in the event he somehow ekes this one out, the past four years have taught me who I'm dealing with and how to do so as best I can. I know that sounds defeatist, but I assure, it is not; rather, this is the attitude of a boxer who watched an opponent go down in the 6th round only to regain his feet on the 8 count and square up for the second half of the fight: I wanted him to stay down, but I've got another 6 rounds of fight in me if he does...
