The difference is that Jan 6 radically changed things. The other examples were hypothetical, but that time, people actually got into the Capitol.
I’m not saying civil war or riots in the streets. I’m more thinking IMVE threats who right now are hoping for a Trump win, but who may resort to domestic terrorism in the event of a loss. That’s always been there and always will be, but it can boil up or simmer down depending on how much they feel the elected government will act on their grievances.
Polls are more reliable than peoples' gut feelings based on yard signs and what the people in their social circle or even social group are saying.
I've written before that surveys indicate most Americans favour some restrictions, and right now the Democratic position is to aim for none. If the surveys properly represent American attitudes, then immediately the fraction favouring the Democratic position is less than a simple majority.
Sure, just like the 2A is safe, or any other issue on which one side reassures the other that they won't try, or won't be able to, flip the status quo.
Classic example of Nut-Picking“Almost”?
The Americans who think Trump is anointed by God
Talk of spiritual warfare is now common among his supporterswww.economist.com
There are absolutely idiots on both sides. It’s just funny and a bit hypocritical that the religious Christians who idolize him missed the whole “idolatry” part of the Bible.

The first amendment trumps (pun intended) the HOA regulations.

The Economist isn’t really known for being sensational, so if they’re talking about it…
Separately, the author of “Fire and Fury” back in 2017 or so released the interview with Jeffery Epstein. The sad part (to me) is that while these allegations would have sunk any other candidate, I read the article and I thought that it isn’t even in the top 5 of things I would list for Trump.
Listen To The Jeffrey Epstein Tapes: ‘I Was Donald Trump’s Closest Friend’
Explosive tapes recorded by author Michael Wolff show Epstein claiming Trump liked to “f---” his friends’ wives and first slept with Melania on the “Lolita Express.”www.thedailybeast.com
It's a cult. His supporters* are members of a cult. A fascist cult.
What do you think the death toll will be on November 6th if Trump doesnt win?
Are you implying that by definition a cult will resort to deadly violence if they don't get their way?
Actually, it’s been sort of like coming to the nuisance , but in reverse as by moving into an HOA you are agreeing to follow their rules.The first amendment trumps (pun intended) the HOA regulations.
I suppose that his supporters stopped trusting the "system" after Mueller published his report. They can't know how far the rot went. Unfortunate, that. It will take a while for the "system" to recover its credibility, in their eyes.
A cult of fascists? Absolutely.
Well, one died last time, so around that.
The Mueller investigation led to eight people with varying proximity to Trump - some from his inner circle - being convicted of crimes. Several went to prison. A bunch more in Russia are indicted but obviously won’t face American justice. I can understand why Trump’s personality cult would not be pleased with this outcome; it was not in their interest to have these proceedings and convictions showing how far the rot went.
3 times as many people were killed in Chicago on that day. Surely a fascist cult having the election stolen (again) will be more violent.
