I start and don't finish a good number of posts. One I started before the election predicted how the transition would go. Unfortunately it assumed Biden/Harris would win FL and NC so it doesn't really work.
I join the people who point to the relatively peaceful days since Nov. 3. There's been no significant violence. I think part of it was how long it took for the election to be called--if it had been called on Tuesday night it would have been more likely for jubilant Biden supporters and/or upset Trump supporters to explode, or get into confrontations. Another part is just the machinery operating; we're used to the pageantry and operation of elections, and the familiarity of the usual routine dampens emotion.
So far Trump is resisting the outcome, which is inevitable. The margins in the different states are small, but not small enough for recounts or court challenges to overturn the outcome in any state, much less in the multiple states which would be needed.
I think the Trump administration will gradually sputter out, with little grace and some noise.
