counterpoint: trump's side is infinitely more fanatical, more dedicated, more united and more armed, and definitely willing to give up their time to drive into cities for protests
I agree, but I don't think that it's likely to keep him in power via a decsive power grab. I do think it's very likely to lead to widespread violence similar to the troubles in Ireland on a scale orders of magnitude larger.
I think you could make the point that that would create enough of a smoke screen to keep him in the white house, but I think at that point you have chaos on a level where basically anything could happen.
My guess would be that at some point the DoD would just say enough is enough and either take control directly, or take control through a puppet president.
It's all just speculation though at the end of the day, and frankly I don't think any of this changes what the strategy should be on the left aside from probably a far greater emphasis on personal and online safety than was necessary in the past.
