Will he incite his base to violence?
He's given us signs of this already at his rallies.

(5,311 posts)...OF COURSE he will!
But he will be unaware of it.
To him, it's all a big joke.

(17,984 posts)and a few heads knocked in. I seriously doubt that there will be rioting in the streets. By the time it gets there, more information will have been released and his popularity will have dwindled even further. There are two things going for us. First, he will be a criminal. Irrefutable evidence will be shown to prove it. Even hardened tRump warriors will have lost enough faith to doubt him. Secondly, once people have lost even a little faith, they probably will not want to even admit they liked him at one time much less get arrested defending him.
At this moment we are living in somewhat of a media vacuum. The "fake news" can be refuted by Faux. Mueller doesn't leak. Once the hearings start and all the evidence is presented, Faux will no longer be able to gloss over the facts. Unless someone chooses to literally bury their head in the sand, they will have to face the facts.

They will basically eat their own. The best the anti-tRump forces can do is give them plenty of room and deny them easy targets. Let them take it out on family and neighbors.

There is a very long line of reasoning as to why he cannot.Will lunatics revolt ? Perhaps they will, he has given lunacy a voice. But a platform for which to meander and revolt, hummmm, I dono ! On second thought,I don't think so.
Inciting people to riot or violence is a serious crime. If he does go ballistic on us and starts an armed rebellion - no matter the size - no pardon for him. He goes to jail just like Jefferson Davis did. Let's hope he doesn't go that far. He's mentally ill so anything is possible.

(51,590 posts)The fuse has been lit and the alternative right loves violence for violence sake. It will be up to the cops to stop them but that is only if they want to. At an Impeach Trump March I witnessed these young, white men were very good at inciting violence and getting people pissed off enough to possibly become violent as a reaction. The cops stood around, doing nothing!
