That’s what will happen if Trumpists and law enforcement conflict. Not all of the military or law enforcement will follow Dump, nor will all the states stand idly by for it...secession.

We agreed, since the bombs didn't explode then this should be solved quickly. If it didn't, then I would worry about the Feds. Charlottesvilles law enforcement, during the Nazi rally confused me. The response wasnt close to appropriate. It worries who these agencies are hiring. How they are screening these new people. Like the female cop in Texas who murdered the black apt renter who answered his own door. Who is being recruited?
