I am all but certain that there will be violence.

At the Trump inauguration or at some rally or protest. And regardless of how it originates or why, it will be blamed on people opposing Trump and held up as proof of their hatred and intolerance, to be followed by cries of “We cannot be expected to stand idly by while Leftists are ruining our country…”

And that will be the end of any last trace of civil political discourse in our nation.

There were multiple incidents of videotaped violence against protesters at Trump rallies — many of which were encouraged by Trump himself. That was the end of civil political discourse in our nation. That is what was rewarded when Trump became President.
