I think if Obama didn't win this reelection, there might have been Rodney King style riots among his inner city and illegal alien base. And given how easily chaos started after Rodney King, I think something happening along the Mexican border involving the Minutemen or the BOrder Patrol against illegal aliens might cause Mexicans living in the US to go on a bloody rampage the way King's followers did and the way Trayvon's followers almost did.
The idea of an illegal alien separatist insurgency is always in the back of my mind, given their obsession over La Raza, Aztlan, and Reconquista. Illegal aliens believe they have a right to live in the US and that we took the land from Mexico. Reconquista and Aztlan are MAJOR defining themes in the illegal alien narrative. Most illegals living in the US are not loyal to the United States. They refuse to learn English and they wave Mexican flags from their homes and they cheer for Mexico over Team USA in the Olympics. These people do NOT consider themselves Americans yet they live in our country and vote in our elections.
Lol! omg imagine if Romney was president with the whole Trayvon Martin thing happening!
People would be all up on here talking about how America is the most racist country in the world and we are run by KKK.
America learn a lesson in the 60's. Its much more likely to happen some where I Europe such as France where they are facing economic shift that makes our problems seem affordable. Too few can not support too many for any length of time before the piper comes calling. Ask Greece.
What "violent political movements" have we had in the past?
Last major one was the Civil War.
The Battle of Athens, TN was a minor one, and really just a small rebellion against local corruption, not an attempt to fundamentally change the national rules... or even the local rules.
The Bonus Army was completely nonviolent, until the government unilaterally decided to use violence.
Any others? Whiskey Rebellion?
If normal Americans finally rise up and violently smack down the liberals who are grossly violating the Constitution, might that be recorded in history as merely another rebellion against corruption, since it simply restored the rules that had always been in place from the unauthorized changes a relatively small group had tried to make? Without changing the basic rules that have been in place (however ignored) for more than 200 years.
OTOH if liberals shoot enough normal Americans (unlikely) to cow the rest and force them to adopt the socialism the liberals want, that might actually go down in history as a "violent political movement", since it would be nationwide and would fundamentally change the rules to something not officially implemented previously.
Where exactly in the Constitution does it allow anyone to "violently smack down" anyone accused of violating the constitution?
Did you mean the US constitution? Or some other nation's?

The police operate best on a one-to-one basis. The Riot in Watts in 1965 proved that. For 5 days, with half the LA police department down in Watts, all they could do was just sit back and watch the looting and fires for 5 days, they were all but powerless to do anything, it was too scattered. The fire trucks refused to go in, fearing they'd get shot at.
With no other option, 15,000 National Guardsmen were called in to quell the riots!
The police weren't much more effective during the Rodney King riots in Koreatown. Hey! What can you do? Get out the popcorn and watch the show!
I doubt. A lot of the violent anti-government rhetoric is from disgruntled Republicans. It will go away whenever a Republican president is elected, which will probably happen eventually. IIRC there was a lot of violent anti-government rhetoric that started after Clinton got in and then went away during Bush and then started again during Obama, and while there certainly were a lot of disgruntled liberals under Bush, they tend not to be anti-government types.
