      I’m inclined to agree.

      When a sudden power vacuum appears, two things are likely to happen. One, there’s a mad scramble to grab that power and two, they’ll turn on each other in the attempt. But that’s all that seems certain.

      Leadership would change hands and divisions would deepen, but they’ve been on a path of retribution and violence for a long time now. Trump’s exit wouldn’t end that.

      Would love for you to expand “already doing that” in relation to what I was suggesting. I do not see political opponents being physically attacked, I do not see/hear of any armed mobs actively physically trying to ‘take their country back’.

      I think that because of 1) trump is still alive and 2) this cook kid doesn’t seem to fit the narrative of their enemy has kept things ‘civil’.
