Blocks from the U.S. Capitol, a limo burst into flames moments after dropping guests off at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Flares and bricks flew through its windows. The driver, Luis Villarroel, fled his torched car, which belonged to a Muslim immigrant small business owner.
Throughout D.C., store windows were smashed, car doors dented. Police stood shoulder to shoulder unloading pepper spray on protesters.
In the middle of the chaos, Trump put his hand on the Bible, took an oath and became the 45th president of the United States.

“In 2016, I just don’t think that the population was prepared for it, and that’s why we didn’t see wider-spread unrest, because nobody expected it to happen,” Richie McGinniss, a longtime video journalist who has covered social unrest for years, told the Caller. McGinnis was previously the video director for the Daily Caller.
“I hate to say it, but it’s going to be a lot worse [in 2024] than it was in 2016 if Trump wins.”
In 2016, Trump stunned the nation by defeating Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Instantly, Democrats were shocked and began to melt down. Images of Clinton supporters falling to their knees, crying and screaming, went viral.

Much of the corporate media was no less hysterical, decrying Jan. 20, 2017 as a dark day for America.
Eight years later, after being dragged from courthouse to courthouse, two assassination attempts and being labeled a “fascist” by his opponents daily, Trump has a real chance at another victory against long odds. The Daily Caller spoke to various experts across the political landscape about what to expect if that happens. From violence in the streets, to Democrats’ plans to contest a Trump win, to the media meltdown, to election lawfare from Democratic super-lawyer Marc Elias, they all predicted a much more dangerous and extreme response this time around if the “threat to democracy” is democratically elected.
McGinniss told the Caller he is preparing for unrest across the country that will be more intense than what was seen in 2016. He says nearly a decade of persistent anti-Trump messaging will be an accelerant for extremism.
“[We’ve been] told that, effectively, our country is going to be under a dictatorship if Trump wins,” McGinniss told the Caller.
He predicted that violent activists throughout the country would target the nearest avatar of the government they could find, whether that be federal courthouses or police precincts.
Julio Rosas, a national correspondent for The Blaze who has years of experience covering riots and social unrest, had a similar prediction, adding that migrants who have been let into the country under the Biden-Harris administration may join in big cities such as New York and Chicago. Above all, Rosas said protests can be expected because violent demonstrators have never learned their lesson.

“Why it’s a guarantee the left riots is because they’ve gotten away with it for so long,” Rosas told the Caller. “There hasn’t been that huge government crackdown, like January 6.”
