My job is on red alert preparing for political riot situations. What are we turning in to?

I had a shop postponed due to concerns over “civil unrest” but I think the client request came in pre-election. Trump’s legal options seem limited and unlikely to overturn enough votes to make a difference, especially if Biden maintains Arizona and Nevada, rendering the PA outcome meaningless. Republicans also got good news with their likely hold on the Senate. So I think the chances of widespread unrest are fairly low at this point. Occasional and deadly actions by the right-wing terrorists will probably continue - for instance the Jewish synagogue defaced with MAGA graffiti on Election Eve - but they seem to strike anywhere and are often lone wolves so I won’t be rearranging my life to avoid them.
Downtown’s boarded up, probably as a reaction to the vandalism that occurred during the summer. I don’t see any rioting out here regardless of the “decision.”
The scenery of downtown right now is reminiscent of a Purge movie with all the plywood all over the storefronts.

No rioting here. I hope we don't see it elsewhere either, as virus cases are at 80 and 90K+ the past 10 days or so (breaking all previous records) and we're in a U.S. third wave with many local hospitals struggling with capacity.

Actually, the U.S. just topped 100K (108K to be exact) cases on Wed.

If the Unindicted Co-Consirator Individual -1 would just keep his mouth shut, that would help. Meanwhile, I guess I will just "stand back and stand by."
Riots? I think you misspelled "peaceful demonstrations."
Texas is fine for now. Next week; who knows? I am just booking out west Texas for next week where towns are too small and too far away to riot. I only have to worry if Mexico decides to invade. 
I am more worried about everything getting shut down again so I am doing as much as I can while the work is here.

Dancing in the streets here in the DMV. Anyone remember when "riot" was used to describe something unbelievably funny or fun?
