Some of the trumpians will turn violent regardless.

If the choice was between a duly elected Trump and a hacked election that gave us Clinton, I'd swallow hard and pick the first. But that isn't the choice. We had an election with massive voter suppression for sure, and possible hacking. Taking away the vote is a crime as egregious as violent assault.
