This segment originally aired Nov. 7, 2016, on VICE News Tonight on HBO.“We have a level of desperation in this country, and here’s our concern: When you have desperation, there’s desperate acts that are taken,” Scott Kesterson said.Before the election, Kesterson and two of his friends went on a self-funded, 10-state road trip of conservative political events to keep the darkest impulses of some Donald Trump supporters in check. They called their trip the “Deplorables Tour.”“We are a hair thread from a trigger revolution in this country, a civil war, and it’s not a joke, and we’re finding it as we travel,” Kesterson told a group in Lima, Ohio. “We vote, and that’s our responsibility — not just our right, it’s our responsibility to protect liberty. That’s our point, and that’s our solution.”The group used endless war metaphors but insisted their real purpose was to spread a message of peace. They weren’t the only ones who worried about violence after the election.“Everybody’s being played against each other,” Trump supporter Jacob Hicks said. “And I see it with the cops and Black Lives Matter. I feel like there’s going to be a massive war.”
