If Trump loses the election and the left gains power:
The right will meekly accept the results of the election, there will be no civil unrest. The left will invest Washington and initiate a series of repressive ordinances against liberty and property. Still, the center-right will not resort to violence and revolt. Many on the right will be co-opted. As the left gains more and more power it will begin to eat its own. An obvious example will be striving for control of the Regency which is the Biden presidency. In the course of these strivings, the Constitution will be commonly understood to have been displaced. At some point economic and political dystopia along the lines of Venezuela will seize America. After that, the deluge.
If Trump wins the election and the left does not gain more power:
The eruption on the left will be far more violent than the protests which occurred in the wake of Trump's first election. Expect terrorist attacks which might descend into guerrilla actions in which the perpetrators operate in sanctuary cities or retreat into sanctuary cities as they flee federal authorities. If the attacks become savage enough and widespread enough, the goal of forcing the federal government to engage at the level of martial law might be realized. At that point expect widespread civil strife and violence as we have seen in places like Iraq.
The turning point:
The matter will be decided by the American military when it intervenes at a crisis point on one side or the other. Where and on whose behalf the military intervenes is simply not clear.
Nope, not a prediction-a worst-case scenario game play.
