Another Jan. 6? Like the chaos that is currently unfolding from the baker's dozen of MAGA protestors outside the courthouse?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

If he tries it might cost him more than money
I'm more afraid what will happen if he wins, because I don't know anything about that. I'd expect a Jan 6 2.0 if he loses, but I don't know if there will be either Kristalnacht 2.0, Nazi book burnings 2.0, or just slow erosion of secular human rights in favor of christian fascism.

I'm not worried about it if he loses. He's just some guy. If people start to get violent on his behalf, they get arrested.
The scary part is if he wins in 2024 and has another Jan 6th (and the related effort to stay in power) after his term should have ended.

It’s pretty clear that his endgame is to basically cause an enormous bloodbath.
Well maybe he should tell his supporters not to do that again….
You misspelled “threatened”.
This time we'll be ready for his sorry ass.
Writers are running out of ideas for this season of jackass
Hey, maybe we could put Trump in a shopping cart and roll him off the roof of an abandoned casino!

Bring it on, motherfuckers.
And it could go the same as last time.
If you didn't already know this would be the case, you're too optimistic about the situation.
At least if he does lose, there will hopefully be a riot squad waiting at the capital in case his threat comes true. It's what I'd do just in case he loses. In fact, it'd be the first thing I do! At the very least, if they don't come immediately within the first week after the election, just have them on standby just in case they eventually show up, ready to perform treason.
If that happens, I don't think the turnout will be anywhere near the same as it was before.
Same he has only lost people nothing gained. I do not think this election will be that close but that's just me, a person from a swing state who watches neighbors remove their pro Trump shit.
It'll only have a positive outcome if we all vote like our lives depend on it
And for a lot of us it literally does
