Will Biden follow James Buchanan's ineptitude?

Let's think past the sale - Trump wins on Tuesday.
Protesters start doing damage in multiple cities and begin to overwhelm local authorities.
What does Joe Biden do?
For all the worries about Donald Trump being a dictator, he has to wait until Jan. 20.
It was the time between election and inauguration when seven southern states left the Union.
James Buchanan did very little as the country traveled down the path to Civil War. And he's not remembered fondly for his inaction.
Can Biden do anything?
Can you see Barack Obama or Bill Clinton giving a speech asking for calm? Respect for the vote that returns Donald Trump to office? Yeah, we called him a fascist, a Hitler, but we need to work with him.
Will the people listen to them?
Worrying about Trump is focusing on the wrong thing.
