Actually, although President Bush's supporters might have been bitter, enraged, and militant about resisting the theft of the election, Bush would have gone back to Texas, finished his term as governor, and retired to his ranch a happy man. We would have heard nothing from him except as it pertained to Texas. That is one of the major differences between the two men.
I take it you're not aware of the many military officers who risked their careers, possibly their lives, by stating that if Gore had usurped the presidency, they would have reacted by considering him as one of the *enemies, foreign and domestic* that they have sworn to protect this country's constitution against.
The interesting question is, how many. I am personally aware of more than I have fingers and toes, so it was almost certainly more than a hundred, at least several hundred, and possibly a thousand or more, some in some particularly interesting duty assignments.
I suspect the dispute would have become violent and bloody very quickly. That is, after all, their job, and the duty required by the promise of those oaths they intended to keep.
I don't think Bush would have idly sat by with such things going on, and growing in intensity. I hope not, at least, and still give prayers of thanks it did not.
