It will be one thing to be disgruntled as such if Trump actually wins on votes, even by electoral college. By rights he should be in prison not contesting elections for his conduct last time out.Whatever way you look at it this is the most divisive election in my memory and I follow closely here of course, my native NI, UK in general the US and even France.
Ni being the exception to all analysis the notable thing about these other healthy democracies is the voters accept the result. Sure I was disappointed when Heath beat Wilson or when Bush beat Gore. But for the first time I sense that US democracy will fail this "accept the result" test. Well yes Trump garbage didn't accept the 2020 result and ceratinly won't accept him losing this time. But if he wins there is going to be a very disgruntled majority (Kamala well odds on to win popular vote) of US voters.
It's not Civil War stuff or anywhere near it but it seems that, whatever administration takes over, half the populace will be totally resentful of it.
It will be another reaction entirely if he succeeds where he failed last time and actually subverts the electoral college vote even though Harris (like Biden last time) wins it fair and square.
I don't think half the populace will be totally resentful if Harris legit wins in that way. I think there will be a vocal minority perhaps larger than 2020 but nowhere near half the populace.
