To the editor: Whereas every part UC Davis professor Garen Wintemute writes about political violence is correct and regarding, personally I don’t fear an excessive amount of about an precise overthrow of the federal government, assuming Vice President Kamala Harris wins in November.
Sure, there could also be skirmishes and violence from some members of militia teams, however there’s a large distinction between now and 2021.
Donald Trump just isn’t the president and doesn’t have entry to the levers of energy he did on Jan. 6, 2021. Joe Biden is president, and I firmly imagine he’s getting ready for this, and any “revolt” will shortly be put down.
The militia members speak an enormous recreation, however they’re cowards at coronary heart. When confronted with the overwhelming would possibly of U.S. forces commanded by rational officers and a rational president, they’ll again down and flee.

To the editor: A analysis staff at UC Davis experiences that greater than 40% of the Proud Boys and militia supporters it surveyed thought that “having a powerful chief for America [was] extra essential than having a democracy.”
That was the scariest assertion about American politics I had ever heard — till the following sentence, after which the following one and so forth, culminating within the discovering that “almost 20% of Proud Boys supporters and 28% of militia supporters mentioned that they had been very or utterly keen to kill somebody to advance an essential political goal.”
What’s even scarier is that the person who can be president has finished nothing and isn’t anticipated to do something to dissuade this.
