There were 71 million Trump voters, and only 2,000 were involved in the one time breaking and entering into the Capital building idiocy, and I think only one was carrying a firearm last I read. And the Capital guards actually escorted the so called rioters through the building. Nothing had happened before that. Nothing has happened after that. And those people didn't engage in actual rioting like the George Floyd riots where hundreds of thousands took part and burned down government buildings, burned down private buildings, and mass looted from stores. They engaged in trespassing and perhaps some vandalism (not sure on that one) and should have been arrested for it. Pretty sure they were.
The verdict was Thursday. Today is Monday. Nothing has happened. No one was hung. No one was shot. No government buildings have been burned down. No one was looted. Could something happen in the future? Sure. But it's highly unlikely given the history. Only time will tell.
The article in the OP quotes a handful of anonymous online posts calling for violence. A handful out of 71 million Trump voters. Anyone could have made those. They could be real Trump supporters. They just as easily might not be. They could be serious. They might not be. But the media makes it sound like it's a giant threat and that all the Trump supporters are going nutz. They obviously are not. Articles like that, that insinuate crap, just feed the partisan idiots who want the crap to be true.
The article I have linked comes directly from various sources from all political parts of the spectrum and not left wing sources as you said. Regardless of the circumstances this reaction by some of his supporters is expected. If I was to guess it and write an article using only my personal opinion I would have been successful in predicting this kind of reaction.
The comparison you made of the 2,000 supporters who entered the Capitol out of the 71 million is very unfortunate. I don't know where to start but it's not the topic of the conversation. Imagine if there are 2,000 who stormed the Capitol, how many others had the same idea.
The idea that nothing has happened after is again a personal opinion. Making threats of violence and riots because Trump was convicted is nothing to you? Maybe you want to claim the links I used are not reliable? You implied it yesterday.
