I too have thought, though in terms probably different from David H.'s, of an impolite right wing in the streets in the sequelae to the current election. Perhaps in response to mildly-left/center demonstrations ff. a Bush investiture--perhaps, one can imagine (I think--hope--it is pure imagination), starting with the National Guard and a few "others". (What sparks the imagination here is doubtless the concept, surely on many minds as folks observe the "election", of a putsch.) "Once there was a country that took a wrong turn; its name was Gilead," sort of thing. More likely, it's appearing now, is that the ruling is already getting together, behind the charade of recounts, to ignore the critical 19,000 Palm Beach mis-votes, and, fronted by television anchors, smoothly to lead the people to accept a (Bush, in the event) investiture and America's need to "pull together," blah-blah.
