On the one hand, I'm not sure how else it's supposed to go. On the other, I'm sure MAGA would love violence to break out; it'll make it way easier to convince military leaders to fall in line when deployed on American soil.

Military comes from regular people in this country. Nobility isn't pushed into service for experience here. And the military comes from poor people. Violence is a commodity in America. You have it or you don't, and it can be taken and used differently by anybody else. Violence as a commodity is hard to keep control of. This is why Trump's unsuccessful assassination attempts happen. Even his own people are aggressive against him. In America, violence is as valuable as data or food.
