Yes, definitely, but the concern would be if the revolt is widespread enough, law enforcement may join them as many of them are Republican. It's also not clear what happens if voters elect a Democrat to the presidency with a Republican congress, whether Congress would allow the Democrat to take office.

You've been watching too many apocalyptic movies.

Law enforcement is deeply hierarchical in nature. Front line officers follow the orders of superior officers and the chiefs report to civilian authority.

Mayors will order police to quell any disturbance and the cops will gladly oblige, billyclub in hand.

Lastly, the odds of a Democratic House are quite good. Let's spend our time making quite sure it is Democratic rather than spinning 1% apocalyptic scenarios in our heads.

I hope so but I hate surprises so I always try to anticipate the worst possible scenario. If someone had told me ten years ago what would transpire between then and now, I wouldn't have believed it, so I'm determined to never be caught off guard again.
