 An easy way for someone to foment societal chaos in the US after a Trump loss is to bet heavily for a Trump win on polymarket 
 How so? I don’t see the connection. 
 Betting a bunch of money on trumps side and driving up the odds to make the public think he’s a lock. If he ends up losing the public is more convinced the election was fraudulent and it causes a stir. Although I think if someone smart saw trumps odds go way higher than his real chances they’d just smash buy the other side, send the odds back towards reality, and possibly make money in the process 
 Yeah I agree with this although I think there are probably cheaper ways to stir up chaos in the event Trump loses
