In reality it is leftist groups which terrorize and vandalize American cities. I have not heard recently that right groups attacked federal buildings and police precincts (though, of course in the past it did happen) or set on fire or looted shops. Not that it diminishes the chances of the scenario you outlined. And that can be one big reason (along with Biden's obvious mental problems and lack of enthusiasm regarding him from AOC and her ilk ) why Trump may win without resorting to illegal actions.
And which "leftist groups" are you referring to? I have seen no reports of any "groups" acting on behalf of the left. True, there have been fires and looting, but I don't see any evidence of organized terrorist actions, and many reports suggest much of the mayhem is due to right wing agitators attempting to discredit protesters. We do, of course, have violent actions from the right (look at the militia in Portland, the use of military arms against peaceful demonstrators in Lafayette Park, and several incidents of right wingers which resulted in death) The KuKluxKlan, the Boogaloo Boys, QAnon, and other recognized groups on the right should be enough to scare anyone who cares about democracy.
I'm also curious what obvious mental problems you see in Biden. Is it that he suffers (largely overcome) from stuttering? I assume you have no desire to compare Biden's mental stability to that of Trump.
