Trump lost power in the first place because he was seen as goosing lawlessness, chaos, disorder, and violence, not reducing it. That was Biden’s case against him in 2020; it will be his case against him in 2024, particularly as the election approaches.

Trump lost power in the first place because he was seen as goosing lawlessness, chaos, disorder, and violence, not reducing it. That was Biden’s case against him in 2020; it will be his case against him in 2024, particularly as the election approaches.
Trump practically barks threats on the daily to pardon (loyal) rioters, bless militias and rioters doing violence for him, and politically purge the military, the better to unleash it on half of America. He gives Biden regular material to make the case that he, not the president, is the agent of chaos and disorder.
Undoubtedly, some Americans support said plans of Trump and consider them pro-“law and order”, rather than their clear opposite. But hardly a “majority” of America. Not to put too fine a point on it, but this is not the Philippines.
Trust me, democratic leaders have absorbed the lesson you mentioned quite well. The real question is whether the protesters and their supporters have, and whether they are in any mood to cooperate with said democratic leaders to stop said fascists, or rather whether they will unwittingly aid the latter to settle petty grievances with the former.
It will be, but will the American people remember? Most of the disorder during the Trump years was in the final year, the one that most people memory-hole and don’t consider his fault since it was precipitated by an exogenous event.
