I disagree. Think BLM summer x 100. Paid domestic activists + foreign mercenaries + unprecedented media push painting Trump as a fascist, recruiting untold innocent dupes. Moreover, hostile foreign powers would have been on the sidelines, primed and ready to jump in at any time.

By stepping aside, the mercenaries are tied up in Ukraine, domestic activists are out of gas and poorly funded relative to 2020, the media has been turned around slowly by bits and pieces, and anyone who wanted to loot and burn has already been marked if not arrested, and the majority of innocent dupes are less motivated and have less excuse to riot than before. And many hostile foreign parties have been saddled with domestic issues, making them less likely to step in, especially in an* en masse* effort.
