In the waning weeks of the presidential election, Harris has been deploying increasingly extreme rhetoric about Trump and the dangers he poses to the country.
Even before Harris seized the Democratic nomination from President Joe Biden, the idea that Trump is an existential threat to American democracy was the refrain of the Biden campaign.
Consider the lopsidedness of the rhetoric between the Trump and Harris campaigns.
Trump often makes sweeping statements about the deep state, about the border and illegal immigration, about crime, about how Harris and the Democrats are destroying the country.
Harris is hoping that many more people will between now and Election Day, and respond by rejecting a second Trump term - in the streets, if they must.
The purpose of the unrest would be to cripple Trump's administration before he even takes office, and to disrupt normal life for so many Americans that they will rue the day they ever voted for Trump.
It's the hecklers veto on steroids, and it's exactly what Harris is planning for and hoping to provoke if Trump wins.
