    I wouldn’t worry about the far-left - there doesn’t seem to be a single far-left politician with a platform in the US. I’d be more worried about the mayority of people currently in the legislature being either far-right or enabling said far-right people. Those people will still be there after Trump.

      It’s actually why I don’t see any forcing back to normalcy happening. If there were extremists on both sides it’d be a kind of level playing field, and someone in the center could rally support for reforms to stop the chaos. As it is, democracy is just being hollowed out bit by bit, and there’s no incentive to stop.
