nothing is going to happen. law enforcement and the military heavily favor trump. plus, just think of all the unrest and violence a vote for someone other than trump would trigger.

The second half of your statement is effectively a defense of extortion.

how am i defending extortion?

Your phrasing regarding the likely reaction if someone other than Trump gains the Presidency is put in such a way that it's very hard to not read it as, 'Well, if he doesn't get it, there's going to be Shit Going Down, so even if he got it illegally, we should all just accept it so as to avoid getting our windows smashed."

And the first half of your statement boils down to, "Doesn't matter; there'll just be a coup if his win is deemed an illegal one."

Basically, you're saying that we should all just accept that it very much looks like a foreign power got heavily involved in our election because if we don't, Bad Things will happen. Or, at the very least, you're pretty heavily hinting at it.
