Let's assume Hillary Clinton wins the election here in 2016, which, let's be honest, seems like a pretty likely outcome, barring some extremely unlikely late October surprise.

The question in many peoples minds, especially after seeing how radical the Trump campaign has become in the waning days; what will happen after a Clinton win? It is highly unlikely that Trump will go gently into that good night, we know the man, and we understand that he will never forgive or forget, we know that he believes only in retribution and vengeance.

Here's one article that has a collection of Trump observations on this topic

Will a Hillary Win Lead to Violence? – 2016 Election Central

Trump has clearly been setting the stage for the tactics following a loss; first, to keep repeating that the election process is "rigged"; I daresay he will use this claim even if it is a landslide win for HRC. That way he can legitimize whatever happens next. It's an old story, to promote similar falsehoods to whip up unrest in the masses.

So this question is really for the Trump followers here, I am very interested in hearing their take on this. I am not going to put these options in a poll, really kinda dislike those. There could very well be some options that I have not thought about, feel free to elaborate.

Assuming that Clinton wins the election, as a Trump supporter, would you:

1) Accept her Presidency, give her the benefit of the doubt, and support her where possible?
2) Do everything in your power, through legal traditional means, to oppose her and destroy her Presidency?
3) Engage in activism such as protests and civil unrest to attempt to destroy or modify the system?
4) Engage in radical extra-legal means to destroy her Presidency, because the situation is that dire?

Do you mean radicals like the ones in Obama's admin? Like the one who he befriended and co wrote his book? Or the radicals like all the others that happen to have been Democrats and Hillary supporters like all the recent terrorists that attacked America from within or the recent cop killers? Like those radicals?

No. I'm asking what YOU would do as a Trump supporter. Pick one of the 4 options or provide you own. In other words, show the strength of your convictions.

Right there in the article you have the SITTING GOVERNOR of Kentucky
calling for violent revolution against the Federal government.

So.

You think we're just joking about this ?
Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R) said over the weekend that patriots may need to “shed blood” if Hillary Clinton is elected president. . .
Bevin said. “The roots of the tree of liberty are watered by what? The blood. Of who? The tyrants, to be sure. But who else? The patriots. Whose blood will be shed? It may be that of those in this room. It might be that of our children and grandchildren.”
“I want us to be able to fight ideologically, mentally, spiritually, economically, so that we don’t have to do it physically,” Bevin said, according to the Washington Post. “But that may, in fact, be the case.”

I'm much more concerned about the violence being perpetrated by the democrats.

Hundreds of assaults against Trump supporters have been taking place.

Of course not to mention all the rioting, and looting coming from democrats.

I have no idea Snowball that's why I am asking the question. Tell us what you mean by "violent revolution against the government". What exactly would that entail? How would you support such a movement?

OK. But that's not the question. The question is what you will do as a Trump supporter, if and when Clinton takes office. Support her? Defy her? Become more activist? Forget about it until 2020? Snowball and the sitting governor of Kentucky is advocating "violent revolution against the Federal government". Will you participate in that?

They are gonna do the same thing the did to Obama during the last 8 years. Troll the internet, whine, complain and make sure their congressman opposes everything she proposes.

Those people will never forgive "the others" for electing a black man. That's when they became more radicalized. They were not ready for that. You would think people would be smarter than that but no, most people just vote because they hate those liberals or conservatives.

The cultural divide entertains the masses but in the meantime the rich become richer. The rest of us just have to choose the lesser of two evils and to me those who want to lower the taxes for the top 1% are the worst choice.
