Most of us hope that if (or hopefully, when) Kamala loses, the Left will tell their constituents to stand down. You can be sure that they are arming with bricks, pipes and matches to protest, although most of them may not be political people at all. I've intentionally called their rioters "dogs," since violent protests show their primitive nature and behaviors.
During the protests in 2020, the Leftist leaders and media tried to pretend that nothing serious was actually happening—we couldn’t trust our lying eyes, as windows were broken and businesses went up in flames. Kamala contributed to a fund that let violators out on bail. And I suspect that this time around, since they had a trial run four years ago, the chaos will be more devastating.
I would like to see the leaders of this country—the outgoing president and vice-president, as well as members of Congress—get out ahead of the election results. Even if they do, they most likely will be ignored. And if they are ignored, their complaints about riots will probably look more like hand-wringing.
So I look forward with qualified optimism and trepidation to learning the election outcomes. Let’s hope the governors wise up and call out the National Guard immediately and enforce law and order.
We deserve that protection.

No chance at all, Susan. Zero. Please understand that post-election violence will, if Mr Trump prevails, be a feature and not a flaw. There will be a concerted and coordinated effort to keep him out of office. This will involve civil violence and the courts.
If he manages to get inaugurated, the degree of civil and institutional disobedience and disruption will make 2017-2020 look like kindergarten.

I remain cautiously optimistic for a Trump victory -- possibly even a large victory.
I expect that, if Trump does win, there will be quite a lot of civil unrest -- looting and rioting and burning and all the other "summer of love" nonsense.
And, to be honest, I think that would probably be a good thing. Transparency is good. The left is willing to burn down the institutions while the press looks elsewhere. It is beneficial for Americans to see the left misbehaving in ways the press can't hide.

Wanting is not getting. Even when getting is in the right.

I tend to agree with you, Hank. But how can we assure that the public "gets it"?

Also, if there is no effort to attain law and order, the governors should pay dearly!! Every effort should be made to defame them for not taking action.
