My question isn't about Trump or Pence, they are just symptoms. My question is for the 35% of those who are ardent supporters. When Trump/Pence are removed, it's not like their supporters will just shrug their shoulders and say, "Well, it was fun while it lasted."
Here is the tweet from a baseball umpire about needing an AK if there is an impeachment.

He's not sorry he said it; he's sorry he got caught.
So what will happen to these people? Will they all start riots and cause destruction? I mean, so many people think that Trump is actually from God, bringing in the end times; those people don't seem to be the type to go to therapy to deal with their disappointment. So many people put all their eggs in the "Hillary for Prison" basket that I'm afraid for their mental health.
Did anyone read about Guiliani butt dialing an NBC reporter and since the call went to voicemail, the reporter got a 3 minute tape of a private conversation he was having?
@jeanne-mayell, yes! I laughed my butt off (and hopefully didn't mistakenly dial anyone in the process ...)
"The butt-dial heard around the world" -Ali Velshi
"If Rudy Giuliani accidentally calls reporters while he's discussing shady activity, the chances foreign intelligence agencies have accessed his phone, and acquired leverage over him and people he's talked to,is high. Sorry for the cold water. Now back to the butt-dial jokes." -Nicholas Grossman
Go, Rudy Colludy!
I guess in these crazy times anything is possible, but I think the that 35% is in itself not monolithic. You have some small percentage of that group who are nuts and/or violent. I don't think the rest are. Also, They're involved right now in gang-mentality thinking, with their leader being T. Once he's gone I don't necessarily think they'll have the nerve to do anything. Remember, they're not "doing" anything now anyway other than making stupid threats and saying stupid thinks (except for the really crazy ones who send pipe bombs and mow down demonstrators).
I liken the aftermath of Trump to the aftermath of Hitler. Its the same exact cult of personality style leader/following. Of his 35%, 80% will go back to being fairly normal human beings, and 20% that were either awoken by the rhetoric or already bat shit(haha) crazy will remain causing trouble for decades
