The election resulted in far less violence in the streets than I expected.

Not to burst your bubble, but assuming you mean USA, it's not over yet. There's still a sizeable portion of people who honestly believe Trump won. I don't look forward to the next few weeks.

I know it. And yet I wasn't looking forward to the last few weeks, and they were mostly benign.

I don't think there will be any kind of meaningful violence either way. Nobody wants a civil war.

I think that there are people on at least one side, maybe both, who actually do want a literal civil war. I presume you don't actually mean nobody nobody, just "close enough" to nobody. And I sure hope you're right, but I fear that you many not be.
