      I would expect more political violence had Harris won. With Trump as the winner, wouldn’t violent hate crimes be the bigger concern?

        Under the first Trump presidency, there was a substantial increase in politically motivated hate crime. So the answer to your question is both are true. If your existence isn’t a political issue, then you should still get armed to defend the people around you.
