Will Mr. Trump demand that his appointees resign? Will he simply try to fire them?
Or will he just send his MAGA Militia to exact revenge on those "traitors" to his cause?
Stay tuned to this Trump-Channel for further developments!

I am not saying it isn't going to happen, but we are still waiting for the republican coup and riots, aren't we?
I do think the riots are unlikely, and the suggestion of a coup was amusing, however.

Here are my fears about what may happen:
# 6: At least one governor or other official of at least one of the battleground states (Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin) is assassinated, or at least there is an assassination attempt.
# 7. Trump preemptively pardons the assassin(s) or would-be assassin(s).
# 13: Trump preemptively pardons Mike Pence and the Senators, who continue to refuse to do the formal count.
# 16: Assassination attempts on Supreme Court justices.
# 17. Trump preemptively pardons the assassin(s) or would-be assassin(s).
# 18: January 19: Trump leaves the country (possibly to Russia?).
# 19: January 20: The inauguration ceremony is cancelled due to bomb threats. A scaled-down inauguration ceremony, attended by only a few people, is held in a bunker somewhere, viewable to the general public via Zoom.
# 20: From overseas, Trump calls for mutiny by those U.S. soldiers who still believe that Trump is the legitimate President.
# 21: Civil war. (Hopefully the mutiny can be put down quickly, because only a minority of soldiers, and few if any of the brass, will have joined it.)
You have one hell of an imagination.

Your fears are unfounded.
I will bet your left testicle on that.

I believe Trump will go back to his Florida villa, think about conspiracy theories, and tweet sometimes how the election was "stolen" from him.

Is he already preparing for 2024?
That is a non-sequitur.

Agreed.
I think you two are drastically underestimating the potential for violence from his cult members.
I don’t Want there to be violence, but, I expect that there will be.

I hope he's preparing himself for a lengthy term in an orange jumpsuit. I doubt it will happen, based on previous events, but it would be interesting.

In my mind, it is possible, but improbable, that there will be *major* violence, to the same degree as the recent left-wing destruction/rioting.
Time will tell who gets bragging rights.

America has a long history of right-wing violence. Based on previous events I wouldn't be shocked if things devolve like that again. It only took a few angry rnjs to blow up the Oklahoma City Building and there's a lot of angry reactionary nutjobs in America at the moment.

The violence would have occurred already. I believe even the vast majority of die-hard nuts know Trump lost.
The MAGA folks have known he lost the election since Georgia was projected for Biden.
The only people who rioted were idiots who just wanted to riot. Most of the “left wing” folks protested peacefully.

Fake news!
Just like I said about covid in the USA - I don’t Want people to get sick and die; but it’s going to happen.
Same same applies to the behaviour of these maga cult nut jobs. They’re enchanted by trump’s spell of nonsense and Truly Believe the election was fraudulent. Years ago one of these nuts became the magabomber.. I fully expect there are going to be shots fired, more bombs, ricin, assassination attempts & the whole 9. These people have been radicalized by the orange guy & Faux News/OAN etc - so don’t be surprised when radical things happen.
