(17,248 posts)I would say that I don't think there are enough anti-liberals to carry out the Revolution. Mr Trump was soundly beaten in 2020, there is no reason to think he has gained support since then, and many reasons to believe he has lost support. And the continual victories of the Democrats in the various elections since then suggest that the RW nut jobs just don't have the numbers to pull off their dream.
I also have no fear that the "bedlam" and "bloodbath" Mr Trump and the radicals call for will occur. For one thing, the great majority of Mr Trump's supporters are cowardly braggarts, never to be found when the rubber hits the road. He has begged and pleaded for people to show up to protest his criminal trials, and is constantly disappointed. There is surely a core group who would love to engage in violence, if they could be safe doing so, but I don't think there's much evidence of people willing to risk their precious skins over the upcoming election result.
And all of this presumes that DJT will be alive, free, and on the ballot six months down the road. I'd like to know the over/under on that, because really, the kind of pressure he's going to be operating under as his trials and tribulations mount up over the summer have killed more than one man, and DJT isn't in the best of health to begin with. And I'd be perfectly happy with such a result, because Bog knows I want to stop hearing that man's name.
