Donald Trump's number two has found himself to be the number one target of several faithful members of the MAGA movement, including Jan. 6 rioters.

Fingers crossed, but unlikely

It's not exactly a good thing...

Like, the direct comparison is organized crime. The mob wanted things to move smoothly, when you lock up the leaders the boots on the ground started doing their own thing. But they're dumber and willing to risk more.

It wouldn't be a war between factions, it would be each group trying to prove itself as the new rightful leader, in this case likely by committing terrorist attacks.

They're all riled up, they're not just going to turn around and go home.

Eventually Trump will end, and then a power vacuum will need to be filled. Things are going to get worse before they get better. Gotta bounce off absolute rock bottom.
