Alternately you can start taking it for granted that racist assholes stand a good chance of escalating to violence at the merest provocation, and take appropriate measures. Be prepared for them to attempt to use lethal force against you, and be ready to respond in kind.

I'm a liberal in Idaho, a state with more guns per capita than people, so take this advice with a grain of salt: buy a gun and learn to use it safely.

I am not saying you should go out looking for trouble.

Note: Provocation is most frequently daring to show up [in public/in your house of worship/at a rally/on campus/at your residence] depending on one's gender, religion, and/or skin tone.

Literally dozens of 'random' murders and shootings around the country in the last 18+ months by adherents to a very specific ideology.

No see the only problem with monarchies was that sometimes inbred idiots would inherit the throne. A bloodline as dynamic and all-American as Trump's would never fall prey to such a threat.

The fake followers were the reason the whole thing took off. Trump tweets some lame accidental tweet and within a couple hours, probably less, there were over 70K retweets and more than 120k likes and plateaued for a while before the tweet was deleted. It was the most obvious indicator of the massive number of bots still being used to manipulate the public through social media. From there it snowballed from "LOL, bot much?" to: "OBVIOUSLY it's not bots but the secret of humanity, maybe even those that come after the orb!".

The pinnacle was Trump waking up and trying to lean into it after the deletion and the cascade of painfully unfunny pile-on tweets from the right: Mike Huckabee: "Covfefe don't play dat!<yells off to the side, what was that other thing you kids do? Oh yeah.>... NOT! GREAT SUCCESS! COVFISSLE MY FEZZILE!"

He did that already. Not in the streets, but at his rallies. He didn't pass legislation, he just de facto got away with it.

Yeah, this is the real story imo. A lot of people suspected huge numbers of bots operating on Trump's Twitter account before, but the covfefe thing was as hard an evidence as we can expect to have for it.

The real question imo is who is paying for those bots, and how exactly are they being used to influence public opinion (by liking/retweeting certain posts over others).

Or... is it a simple matter of Trump's immediate family buying lots of followers in an effort to sustain his bottomless hunger for attention and validation? I've said this before: I can totally see Ivanka doing it because she is genuinely afraid of what might happen if her father has some sort of mental crisis over not having enough support.
