The idea that this stuff will all go away if Biden wins does seem a bit naive to me. In fact people may take away the lesson that it's a winning form of politics and the basis for a durable political coalition (insert Trump wrong gif).
It's not like this is just some emotional outlet or form of catharsis for people angry about Trump. There is an entire incentive structure that's become embedded into institutions, from management on down. Those incentives don't just go away.
And if you look at the protests and riots, they are largely happening in the most liberal cities under the most liberal leadership. Liberal white males. Sounds like a Biden administration to me.
It's almost as if the driving force is a rebelliousness against insufficient liberal leadership more than anything else. Sort of like an intra-liberal familial dispute.
And what does a university professor who said a Chinese word that sounds like a bad word in English even have to do with Trump? And so on.
