Polling currently indicates many seats flipping to Dems. Assume for now that this happens and both houses of congress are majority Democrat.

What are the odds that Trump triggers some sequence of events that lead to large-scale domestic backlash? Some theoretical options

  • Refuse to accept results of election
  • Significantly escalate foreign wars
  • False-flag operation of some form. Bombing, orchestrated AI take over, infrastructure collapse
  • Orchestrate large scale rioting with agitators

What are the odds something like this occurs leading to a significant enough impact to negatively affect most people?

Far more likely there will be mild protests and general whining if Trump rigs the votes to favor Republicans into winning (y'know, like they already do with jerrymandering and voter role purges). Though liberals don't have the balls to do anything but whine, and there are far too few lefties to create an actual movement, so the real shitshow will be down the road when Trump installs himself as permanent Dear Leader.
