Anything can happen and it would not surprise me one bit if 45 wins again, with or without a continuous violence. I witnessed it four years ago and I have psyched myself to brace for another big surprise.
I got your point, though. It's the table-turning folktale model of the tortoise overdoing the shaming punishment meted out to his own father-in-law who stole the former's yams. Humanity hates what the Yoruba call "Àšejù." You can make your point without emitting heightened and protracted anxieties on the masses.
Honestly, my fingers are crossed!

A small modification to my forecast that Trump can never win:
If the riots continue and there are widespread cases of violence and death, expect a shift to his side by almost 5%, which is significant. Progressives can endorse protest but not riots. Historically, the American society makes a distinction between both. If more riots continue, those in the suburbs will think that Trump and the police will give them protection and work to retain him in the White House.
