I wouldn't do anything that I normally wouldn't do. There are two places that the Left and PC culture stay out of even if Hillary wins: the hood and the hills. Left wingers never come into my area because most people are right wing red necks that will exercise our second amendment rights on idiots that behave like primitive savages rather than running away like people do in all of the liberal cities.

I guess I'd need a clearer definition of "rock n' roll" in this context. Are you talking about "gettin' muh shootin' iron" and causin' a ruckus? Maybe round up a posse? How do you go about that, anyway? Do the posse members have to sign waivers in case they shoot themselves in the foot as they're screaming about "snowflakes" and "safe spaces?"

Who are you going to exercise your 2nd amendment rights on? And what does "exercise" mean? Does it mean you're going to load a gun and go to shooting at people?

You gonna go and hunt the electors from your district down and shoot them?
If Trump is overturned, your quarrel will be with the electoral college, not the folks who voted for Clinton.

If the election is overturned and goes to the popular vote, it will be the electoral college that will do it.

Not the people who voted for Trump or for Clinton. The electoral college has not elected either one of them yet, and will not until later in December. Until they have voted, there is no official winner. Trump is the presumed winner until then.
While tradition has never seen the electoral college reverse an election, there is nothing in our law to stop it from doing so, and Trump has already broken long-standing traditions. The voters have spoken, but the electors must now interpret what was said in the voting and vote accordingly, following the conscience.

There are a few state laws that compel an elector to vote the way he pledged, but breaking those laws is a misdemeanor that only carries a small fine as a penalty. These laws were intended to discourage waffling by electors who could not make up their minds one way or the other.

So then, who's going to be your target? It won't be your neighbor, or someone you know, unless you happen to know your elector personally. Very few are elected directly to their position; most are chosen from within their own parties in an inner-party election conducted during a convention.

Nobody is forcing Hillary on you. Should the recount combined with the popular vote prove that she won, I don't know that there is a legal precedent for it or that anything would be done.

What it would mean is that Trump is not a legitimate president, which would be absolute karma for the birther who tried to delegitimize our current duly elected POTUS for the last 6 years.

Hardly matters. Trump is not respected by over half the country anyhow.

You forgot who you were responding to, a supporter of those that are not big fans of the 2nd Amendment.

Interesting. Have you got any news stories I can see online that detail the awful fate that befalls those (deceased) liberals, or was your statement more of a threat?

I'll just suck it up and wait for the next election, just like I did 8 years back. No rioting, burning, looting, crying, protesting, hunting my safe space.

Not a viable Poll: This will never happen that Lyin' Hillary gets her green, fungus-filled fingernails in our White House .... So, I could not answer any of the selections.


Unless you assure me this was a joke posting and I will go back and look again.
