The transition itself will be peaceful. That's just how we do things in this country.

There won't be any tanks in the streets of DC, there won't be any gunfire at the White House or at the Capital....there just won't be.

Is it possible that some protests could occur that turn violent? Sure. But there is no way in hell any minority faction of assholes is going to keep the next duly elected president from taking the oath of office and sleeping in the White House that night.

I said this before, but if for some stupid reason Trump decides he isn't leaving on inauguration day, 2021 and refuses to head toward the door, the INSTANT the new president says "So help me god" the Secret Service will pick him up and carry him to the sidewalk outside the guard house on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Jackson Place, NW and drop him.

They won't fuck around. Not for a second.
