Academic experts on the radical right have raised “alarm” that the US could see a “rapid" rise in right-wing extremism and domestic terrorism following the 2020 presidential election.
In an open letter sent to The Independent, 17 specialists on radical right discourse warn that “anti-democratic methods will become normalised in pursuit of still darker, radical-right agendas.”
“We fear that should election violence or a contested outcome in the US come to pass, there could be a rapid increase in radical-right extremism, including increased risks of domestic terrorism,” the letter reads.
Donald Trump has on a number of occasions refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power in the event he loses the 3 November presidential election to Democratic rival Joe Biden.

The radical right will not be pleased if trump loses. I don't think it is in their best interest to cause trouble.

Trump Hell, left wing, BLM members, Antifa and white power racists have all declared that if the election doesn't have the results they want- "Down down the Towns!" Then you run the risk of the far right coming out to fight within 100 days after the election if Ms Harris gets in office, cause she said :She would issue Executive Orders to take guns away"
