Does anyone see a situation where there won't be fighting in the US? Because I don't..

@Demosthenes when trump was elected there was violence for days on end, by the third day it was still ongoing... Meanwhile it seems the incident at the capital had minimal isolated violence, almost all the murder and killing and serious injury was caused by police, and the violence quickly ended and hasnt continued into the next days... So seems hopeful so far it was an isolated incident.

@freemo millions of people think the election was rigged. Instead of working to fix the issues that facilitated that thinking, the social media platforms are suppressing all claims of fraud and opposition.
We're in a democracy where some people don't trust the vote, and they're being silenced. How won't a certain subset of that population fight?

@Demosthenes Thats very fair, and ive said something similar. Not so much that I expect violence, though it is possible, but that the response of the media to turn up the censorship to 11 is likely to incite violence more likely than it is to quell violence.
While I do agree the response is going to have a tendency towards provoking violence I am still not entirely certain the violent will become wide spread or approach the levels we saw from the left (I could be wrong). thought I do suspect there will be some minor isolated examples of violence and that it will be more common than it would have been if the media had responded differently.
