If indeed Donald Trump becomes a two-time loser when the votes are counted later this evening, this country may not yet be free of his malevolent influence because some of his most devoted supporters are already threatening to stir up trouble.
Mother Jones editor David Corn recently spoke with Trump/MAGA acolytes at a rally the disgraced ex-president held in Reading, Pennsylvania, and many Trumpers said they won’t sit by quietly if their hero goes down in defeat.
“So if he doesn’t win, what do you think the reaction’s going to be?” Corn asked a supporter.
“Civil riot, civil war.”
Corn then asked, “Are you going to be a part of that?”
“Yeah, absolutely,” the supporter replied.
“In what way?” Corn inquired.
“I’m not talking anymore!”
Another Trump devotee revealed that he had done prison time for illegally entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and was eager to do so again.
“Will there be another January 6th?” Corn asked.
“It probably would be worse,” the man answered. “It would probably be ten times worse.”
