Those are secrets Trump might not want exposed.

Of course you would shift blame off of terrorists and onto "validated" straw man.

Should we follow Hong kong's example for a lesson in order and stability?

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
There's good reason but those in denial will never see the forest via the trees. Its no strawman.Of course you would shift blame off of terrorists and onto "validated" straw man.

This is nothing new. I remember hearing about how President Ford was a member of this vast pedophile ring back in the 70's... also Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama. It didn't used to be about left and right, just about the DEEP STATE. And of course every time I've heard it talked about they claim that the indisputable EVIDENCE for the claims is ALWAYS just days or weeks away from being released. Used to just be a extremist fringe thing that you could laugh about. Thanks to the Internet and a frighteningly large percentage of truly ignorant individuals it's become a mainstream theory with conservatives.
...Or would the military join him?
Very fine people on both sides?

What prominent members of the democratic party fall within the top left red quadrant on the political scale? Show your work.

Not sure what you mean. We just had a very well-run, secure, and non-fraudulent election. Biden won it. T**** is just making garbage up that isn't sticking, just because he's a big baby narcissist. The election worked as designed. T**** lost.
We do need to get rid of the electoral college however.... losing by 5 million votes, which is how badly T**** lost by, should be the sole deciding factor, IMO.

The reason the radical right is acting like that is the validated fear of socialist political rule from the left.
Valid fear of what? That we'll adopt universal healthcare and turn into a horrible place like Canada? That Jeff Bezos might only make a hundred million dollars next year instead of a billion? That people who have worked 40-50 years of their life might actually be guaranteed a decent retirement?

That is how my relatives in the mainland see politics.
I speculate that promising violence is histrionics.
It's easy to say it, but actually committing it as part of
a cold plan can give one pause. However, violence
could break out if tempers flare during demonstrations.
I give 80% odds that the alt right will fizzle, not sizzle.

1. How is this a validated fear? Can you link to some validated source?
2. The Left? Which left -- the Greens? Yeah, they're a scary bunch.
Who are these leftists?
3.Socialist political rule? Like FDR? Like Scandinavia?
What do you imagine "Socialist political rule" would entail, Twilight?
The Democrat's aren't Left. They don't even represent the working class anymore -- which is one reason this class feels abandoned and is embracing the authoritarian Right, which is pandering to them with it's depiction of government as the enemy.
The Republican's have weaponized "Socialist." They've made it a scary word, conjuring up vague images of a repressive, Soviet-style, totalitarian state.
Today's Democratic mainstream is, in many ways, politically Right of both the Nixon and Reagan administrations. The platform of the actual mainstream Left, such as Sanders' "Democratic Socialists," pretty much exactly matches what surveys have found to be the views of the majority of Americans.

Both the far-right and far-left are violent.
Concession is merely a polite formality. It doesn't matter if Trump acknowledges his loss. He's out, Biden's in. That's all she wrote.
I do -- if they resort to needless hooliganism. Violence and vandalism harm their purported cause and feed into Right-wing propaganda.
True, but the far Right is better at it. The Left... their heart just isn't in it. It's not natural for them.
"Far Left" thugs are a rare breed, and a lot of the violence attributed to them I'd attributed to Black Bloc hooligans, who are just as RWA as the Fascists.
Right-Wing Authoritarian triad:
- Authoritarian submission — a high degree of submissiveness to the authorities who are perceived to be established and legitimate in the society in which one lives.
- Authoritarian aggression — a general aggressiveness directed against deviants, outgroups and other people that are perceived to be targets according to established authorities.
- Conventionalism — a high degree of adherence to the traditions and social norms that are perceived to be endorsed by society and its established authorities and a belief that others in one's society should also be required to adhere to these norms.
The Left has been repressed, and it's legislative policies largely blocked, for several decades. The whole country's moved Right.
