This is especially true this time around. Remember, they spent pretty much the entirety of the last 4 years saying that Trump stole the last election, but that such only came to light after the actual election took place. This time, they're making it look as if he lost the election and is now staging a coup to remain in power. I fully expect there to be at least a certain (albeit probably small) number of normies who become radicalized over this, with a smaller number of them doing stupid, crazy shit.
People who aren’t willing to get into a conflict, and are psychologically weak, may submit to the narrative they’re promoting in all the press, just so that they have peace in their lives. A lot of people don’t have the fighting spirit that you glorious bastards do, and are weak. If taking our position means disagreeing with the majority of their environment, they would never do it. On the bright side of that, they don’t really have the will to become active enemies either. They’re not gonna be getting in the way physically, if it comes down to it, because they’ve taken their positions in the first place, out of weakness, not strength. They’re just joining what they perceive to be the winning side thus the lowest risk to them.
Which is why I noted that the numbers would most likely be small. I doubt most of the pre-Trump crazy lefty types would never go out and do anything, and even fewer would go out and do anything on their own. Hell look at the dude who shot Steve Scalise. He'd been anti-conservative for years, but had never acted on it in any real terms up until Trump's first election.
However, I don't doubt for a minute we'll see more people like James T. Hodgkinson spring up after SCOTUS gives the win to Trump. We'll likely see a few otherwise "regular people" try to shoot up Congressional baseball games too.
