Those urban dwellers on the political Left who hope for something like an assassination, electorate theft, etc to short-circuit a Trump presidency are not thinking things through very well in the context of the election day maps.

I find these kinds of plotlines (and in general, dystopian plots) fascinating but am totally certain that in real life they would be absolutely zero fun. Kind of like the way venezuela is zero fun today.
Hypothetically, I would be rather surprised if Obama could retain control of the US military in such circumstances, were they used to attempt to prevent the peaceful transition of power.
But hey, it's 2016! Who knows what's coming!
Nobody said it was going to be 'fun' for anyone. Civil wars never are:
I'm just sayin' to those who look forward to 'something happening' to Trump to be careful what they wish for...especially those who live in dense urban areas.
Here are a few more of my prognostications: In this case the paramilitaries (police, firemen, etc), while prone to doing what's in their best interest, are generally more in favor of Trump than the Obama-class follow-ups. This particularly after the tacit support from the Left of cop-killing BLM'ers and such. Perhaps they could be promised a leader which is more to their liking which could help them play ball, but I'm not sure how much they would buy it. Most of them would probably show up to obtain any service weaponry issued (unless they have their own) then head home to pick up the fam and get the hell out of dodge. Much like what happened in hurricane Sandy.
By the time your average SJW who still owns a car figured things out, the roads would be hopelessly clogged. At the head of the traffic jam many miles away one would find a ditch across the road which took someone like me all of 15 minutes to dig with a 'borrowed' excavator. Basically, the city is where some may live and most will die.
Next the waves of rioters and looters come. No amount of protests about being a good progressive who loves people of color is going to get one out of the robberies, rapes, and murders which will follow. Some decent people might kiss their apartments goodbye group together into defense groups, but after a few days of no food and water, they will start to break off and join the roving gangs themselves. By that time there won't be much left anyway.
Then the diseases associated with lack of sanitation set in. About the only thing Americans are not vaccinated against are these...as if vaccinations worked worth a shit against real outbreaks anyway.
By this time people will be begging for anything to save them. If some of the 20,000,000 Chi-com 'international relief helpers' do actually show up in one's city they will mostly just finish the job that the above misfortunes didn't.
