But I can't forget that most people, including many DU posters, did not believenthat he could or would do anything violent if he lost in 2020. He failed to stop the certification of Joe Biden's win. But he sure as hell tried to do it, with violence. In all my 70+ years, January 2021 was the first time that a US president got sworn in with thousands of carefully National Guard troops being posted to protect the inauguration ceremony from threats to disrupt it. There has slwsys been security at inauguration, but not like in 2021.

I am not saying that Trump will succeed. But I am saying that he will try to pull something. It's all he knows how to do.

Can you imagine him just shrugging and saying, "Well the people have spoken and Democrats won a majority of Congressional seats"?
