There’s a LOT packed into this single graph, & why I’m (so far) not getting super-anxious about the Trumpworld reaction if defeated.
THREAD
First, remember Trump’s avg approval, which is below 42% today.
According to this graph, ~37% of those suppoters would be really angry if Biden wins.
Ie: ~15% of the US public.
This is even visible at his “rallies.” Remember the disaster of Tulsa, and the people yawning at his speech.
He’s not Mr Excitement anymore, & everyone knows it.
And that’s today. Most of those people, even dyed-in-the-wool Trump supporters, will accept a lawfully elected Biden presidency, even if it angers them.
Then there’s this: America hates losers. It despises them.
If Trump loses on the world’s biggest stage, his support will diminish even further.
So yes there are dangerous people and groups, & movements like Qanon are deeply troubling.
But these things tend to crest & subside. There will always be dangerous individuals, but this graph doesn’t tell the story of a profoundly divided America.
