Evaluating the Impact of a Trump Presidency on Civil Unrest and Anti-American Agenda
Introduction
The claim that civil unrest and disorder will intensify if President Donald Trump is not re-elected is a topic of much debate. Supporters of this view assert that under a different presidential leadership, such as Hillary Clinton's, the situation might deteriorate further. This essay will explore the conditions set during the Trump presidency and evaluate the potential for unrest if another leader assumes office.
Understanding the Context
During President Trump's tenure, several policy initiatives and reactions helped mitigate the progression of civil unrest. Critics argue that Trump, with his unconventional leadership style, is not fit for the presidency, citing comparisons to the outstanding leadership of former President John F. Kennedy (JFK). They argue that Trump's discourse and actions trivialize the importance of political leadership, unlike JFK's.

Impact on Institutions and Military
One of the most visible positive impacts of the Trump presidency is the "Making America Great Again" initiative, which stalled the anti-American socialist agenda. Additionally, there was a significant improvement in the state of the military, which had been left in shambles during the Obama administration. Under Trump, various military reforms and budget increases helped restore the military to its former status.
Moreover, the Trump administration's confrontational approach towards lobbyists, assisted by the president's willingness to use common sense in policy-making, significantly curtailed the influence of special interests in the legislative process.
Rise of Antidemocratic Protest and Riots
The significant shift towards antidemocratic behavior under the "progressive" movements during the Trump era is a notable part of the narrative. These groups, particularly proponents of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa, have initiated riots and protests, often under the pretense of systemic racism. However, it has been observed that shootings, fires, and destruction of property occur predominantly in areas controlled by Democratic politicians, suggesting a pattern of de-escalation in Republican-controlled regions.
For example, a 17-year-old boy now 18, has faced legal scrutiny for defending himself during BLM riots. This case is set to establish a legal precedent for self-defense against BLM provocations, potentially including the use of firearms against rocks and sticks.
Future Expectations
As more cases like this one aim to set legal precedents, law-abiding citizens across the country are likely to stand up against BLM and ANTIFA riots. The community's willingness to defend themselves will counterbalance the numbers of those engaging in these activities. This could lead to a quick civil war scenario, exacerbated by increased funding and support for these movements.
The legal precedents established will likely include a broader range of self-defense measures, making it easier for individuals to defend against unlawful actions by rioters. This transformation in the balance of power between the public and lawless protesters will fundamentally change the landscape of civil unrest.
Conclusion
The imminent shift in leadership from President Trump is a critical juncture for the U.S. to consider the implications of allowing another political leader to take charge. If the narrative from the administrations like Clinton's prevails, the country could potentially experience a rising tide of civil unrest and an anti-American agenda.
As the nation faces this potential future, it is essential to understand the historical context and the effective measures that have been put in place to mitigate civil unrest during the Trump years. Whether civil unrest will worsen if Trump is not re-elected remains a subject of debate, but the precedents set provide hope for a more stable and safer future.
