Think about all the rioting, looting and social unrest of the last few years, and one thing becomes clear: they are almost all perpetrated by left-wing activists in the name of left-wing causes, from Occupy Wall Street to Occupy Wall Street. George Floyd riots to the various Antifa occupations and riots.
So when President Joe Biden claims he’s concerned about a “peaceful transfer of power” after the presidential election and calls Trump supporters, so be it Irony on a judge’s scale.
A month before Election Day, President Joe Biden stressed he was “confident it will be free and fair” but said he was “concerned” the transfer of power would be “peaceful.”
“The things that Trump said and the things that he said last time when he didn’t like the outcome of the election were very dangerous,” Biden told reporters on Friday in a surprise appearance at a White House news conference . “I noticed that the Republican vice presidential candidate did not say he would accept the results of the election, and he did not even accept the results of the last election.”
“I’m worried about what they’re going to do,” he continued.

I wouldn’t be too worried about what Donald Trump and his supporters will do if he loses the choice. I’ll be much, much more worried about what the left will do if he wins.
If Donald Trump wins the election, I would be particularly worried about a few things:
First: Our large cities could definitely explode. The incessant drumbeat of media condemnation of Trump of all people, the incessant shouting about Trump = Hitler and worse, has led to this; If (we can hope) Trump wins, all of this will be unleashed. Protests turn into riots, which turn into arson, which turn into looting, and worse, and like the summer of 2020, the mayors of blue cities will do little or nothing to prevent or address them once they start.
Second, the media will go into overtime to try to sabotage every other Trump administration before it can even get off the ground. Think about the platform they gave the “Trump is not a legitimate president” people Her Imperial Majesty Hillary IDowager Empress of Chappaqua, just several orders of magnitude larger. The coverage will be overwhelmingly negative – as it already is.
As always, Joe Biden got this exactly wrong.
If Kamala Harris and Tin Walz win the election (shudder), there will be a peaceful transfer of power. There will be bitching and complaining, but it continues.
If Donald Trump and JD Vance win the election (we can hope), our cities risk collapsing, and the wave of outrage from the left will trigger tsunami warnings across the Atlantic and Pacific.

And even Politico is already there:
Trump has consistently denied losing the 2020 election to Biden, and his campaign and associates filed dozens of lawsuits challenging the results. Trump was impeached both federally and in Georgia for election interference and was impeached by the House of Representatives for his role in the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021.
And there’s another example of what I’m talking about. What happened on January 6, 2021 was unfortunate for several reasons. Yes, cooler heads should have prevailed. Yes, people should have listened to Donald Trump’s exhortation to “make your voice heard peacefully.” But it wasn’t a riot. It was hooliganism at best. But the legacy media insists on portraying a few people taking selfies in the Capitol as a threat to the existence of the republic, and so a Trump victory could well lead to major civil unrest.
