There might be a bit of violence, but if you think that Americans are going to all out war instead of just accepting the election results and whining about it on twitter then you're mistaken.

There's a huge difference to that though.
The IRA were way more organized than anything left based in the US right now. They had activists willing to die in prison with hunger strikes and they fought the British for years.
Until we actually have an organized left movement that is willing to do anything like that, we aren't getting anywhere. On the other side, the far right have spent decades organizing and talking about a tyrannical government imposing martial law, gun control and all of that. They're the ones that are going to be calling the shots. They've been waiting for this moment since the 70s and on up and have had plenty of time to organize. The left on the other hand, is too divided with ID-POL bullshit and other petty nonsense that at most, we'll have small groups who are outnumbered by the far right.
It won't be like the Troubles at all and that is a poor comparison. It will be more like Lebanon or Yugoslavia. It will be a civil war that is broken down and divided through everything from race, class, culture and religion. Americans are heavily divided.
I think in this analogy right wingers are the IRA.
