They won't do violence against the government because they're all cowards.

Instead there will be a wave of violence against women, including femicides, because they'll blame their wives and families and neighbors and random women for voting for Harris and "lying about it." There's a gender violence time bomb ticking in the US and it freaks me the fuck out.

Didn't they already do that a number of times in the MAGA era, not just that Jan 6 thing, including ransacking government buildings because of covid lockdowns?

True, I guess when I think of violence I don't think about property damage and there will certainly be isolated lone wolf attacks.

On a societal level, though, I think it will just manifest as racialized and patriarchal violence as "revenge" for Harris winning.

You may be right. I unfortunately am familiar with misogynistic domestic hog rage.
