I think it’s notable that the brunt of death threats are being made by republican constituents to REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS. I think the fact no one has fired a shot/died so far bodes well…their outrage seems to continue to fizzle, and as noted upthread, the “Kraken” et al will continuously re-file and kick the “but Trump shoulda won” can down the road so far that people will eventually lose interest. IMHO I feel like this was the best case–drawing out a long, stupid loss where their confidence is constantly eroding rather than one singular “piss them off” victory. Well said. This is exactly why I don’t think there will be any “civil war,” or anything close to it. I’m sure there will be some protests and even some gun-waving, but who or what are they going to shoot at? The question of “who’s responsible for Trump losing?” doesn’t have any clearly-defined answer. Is it Democrats in general? SCOTUS? Republican election officials? Dominion? Despite all their ominous talk of “civil war,” Trump supporters wouldn’t have a clue where to start. And they won’t even acknowledge that Trump HAS lost, because he keeps stringing them along with talk of yet another judicial deus ex machina. He’s like a cult leader who keeps predicting and rescheduling the apocalypse. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/texas-sues-non-trump-voting-states-for-reasons/927614)._
