Trump has been inciting violence since the primaries; why stop now?
Of the 40 million followers, how many will be willing to take up arms and protect him? He has galvanized that base, and they are armed to the teeth. Remember when the black men (Obama/ Holder) were going to take their guns? They stocked up, big time on that BS, NRA-promoted, rally cry of 2nd Amendment "infringement." You couldn't buy ammo because it was already sold out in certain types/ calibers for a period of years. As the pressure continues to mount, he has no choice but to unleash these followers. If he doesn't, he knows he is destined for prison, and therefore has nothing to lose and will use coded (thank you Michael Cohen who expressed this perfectly) calls for violence.
PS. I sincerely hope I am wrong. Please convince me. Thanks!
