The Devil You Know
Not that I'm expecting Trump to be removed from office or resign, but I was wondering how something like that would impact the country and the people that elected him as an outsider to drain the swamp and put American first.
Will they just go about their business and vote for another outsider next time?
Will they riot?
I think it's likely a small percentage of his supporters will conclude that Washington and the media is too corrupt for democracy to work and they will take up arms and get violent. They'll start behaving like Antifa, Black Live Matters, and SJWs but since they are so heavily armed, it will be way more violent and widespread.
I would expect a series of Oklahoma City style terrorist attacks against media outlets, politicians, and intelligence agency buildings and personnel. I hope I'm wrong, but I think the media and politicians are underestimating the anger out there that put Trump in office and they are going to underestimate the response if they push him out of office.

Riot over a politician?
I have a higher opinion of my fellow Americans than that.

Nothing wrong with the occasional violent riot. The crazy blood needs to get drained out...and our peacekeeping forces need the exercise.

This is exactly what I need. I am looking for a way to explain my heavy gambling losses this past year, to my friends and family. This way...I can tell everyone that I lost the money in the stock market crash...and they'll shower me with sympathy.

And in the mist of all the chaos maybe a foreign nation or fanatic group will attack us.
Just to make the Lefts task of destruction complete...
