I've done the same dobbles, and for longer. Florida and Arizona, so I can say I covered the wackiness on both coasts. I will believe mass political violence is neigh when I see it. I don't see neighbors shooting each other because one voted for Trump and the other voted for Biden. If it were that way, we would have already seen it happen. There's been more than enough opportunities and sanity reigns supreme. If the country didn't fall apart after January 6th, I don't see it getting to the level where Americans start shooting each other over ideological reasons. There needs to be a much greater existential threat to reach that level of possible violence. Won't happen without some type of actual government oppression of citizens rights, like rounding people up and putting them in camps. In other words, it's not going to happen.
