Expecting the worst of his followers will wait for the big inauguration protest. I expect shots will be fired if the protesters are challenged.
Based on worldwide negative responses to his actions, and not having the avenues to retaliate, Trump has likely become far more dangerous. He won't be able to contain his anger. He has to retaliate. I think the last week has pushed him to a place where his goal now is to take 'everyone' down with him. No way to know who he considers everyone but it won't be limited to democrats.
I am very concerned about the inauguration. I can't imagine the security preparations are adequate after the debacle last Wednesday. I don't think anyone planning to try to use a weapon will be that selective of whom they shoot. I think the goal will be to disrupt the proceedings before Biden takes the oath, to delay Biden taking office however possible. Stop the steal seems anti-climatic after Biden takes office. Wonder what would happen if his supporters tried to take over the white house prior or during the inauguration.

A lot of us here doesn't like to confront Trump's action directly. They grudgingly admits that he's bad but they fall short of condemning him for all the serious crimes he has committed.
I don't understand the logic and I think if it's explained to me I would be shocked and find it completely unacceptable.
Some members here think it's about hatred for this particular individual. Which I find odd as well.
His crimes against this country alone is reason enough to denounce him.
I sometimes feel we're the ones being prosecuted for denouncing his criminal behavior towards our country.
But I suppose when you hold on to him to represent your beliefs, you ultimate suffer the consequences.
I think the biggest consequence is having elected him and allowed him to do all these damages to our country.
People continue to make comparisions between this riot past week to the riots during the BLM movement.
All riots are bad, there's no denying that. And not all protests are good. Some are damaging to our country, some actually leads our country to a better path and allow our country to heal and improve.
Which movement you believe in will ultimately make a difference in the direction this country take.
America has always been a country that allows for multiple religions, races, beliefs, and ways of life.
I think this is the main reason it has been able to prosper through all the societal and cultural changes for the past 70 + years, and remains on top of this world in terms of global power and influence.
To shrink down to its core of white protestants and the like is to stripe all the varieties, the vibrant energies from all people of all creed, and the innovations that keeps this country great.
Trump does not allow that.
He is a white supremacist. And that by definition limits our ability to become all that we can be.
