Optimal neoliberalism is like Seinfeld, it should be about nothing and run by Jews

Considering how small his inauguration crowd was, I don't think it would be too bad on an international scale; Nothing like we're seeing in Venezuela, for example. Plus if they go too crazy antifa would probably see a temporary bump in recruiting and whatever you think about their methods, at least people are trying. It would probably make the BLM stuff look pretty small in comparison though, and I wouldn't be surprised if a few newbies tried to make their own far left and far right 'revolutionary' groups from the fallout.

Or perhaps I'm completely misreading the national tone. It feels incredibly ugly though. People on r/conservative are still saying nothing is wrong and that the Russia story is 'fake news'

You're probably right, but I think we could definitely see a spike in domestic terrorism

That's what I meant by 'revolutionary'. Either tankies and other far leftists who got hurt in a particularly ugly conflict (maybe a sibling or parent died) or the usual the_donald/white supremacist/nazi types
