Since, according to her, it is her friends and neighbors telling her that's what they plan to do, I'm not about to poo-poo her fears to her face. In certain neighborhoods, fears of riots are more legitimate than in other neighborhoods.
Could you post a link from a primary source regarding a riot after an election in the US? I agree with not getting into a disagreement with your relatives. It's not worth it!
Libs tend to be irrational and can turn violent, but they usually just destroy property. When Romney is president, those death threats will be a federal crime and action will be taken. Until then, one simply has to realize that there are nut jobs everywhere and idiots suggesting "death threats" is just part of the political landscape.
Because the word is that if a Republican gets into the Oval Office, SS will be ended, medicare will be ended, the free cell phones will be ended and Blacks will be put back into chains.
That is the message coming from the left. The uneducated, illiterate believe what they are told by "their party".

Who were the people who bought up all the ammo after Obama`s election? That`s pretty extreme don`t ya think?
If you knew a hurricane was coming would it be extreme to stock up on water, candles, and canned food knowing they would soon be out priced or hard to get? Gun control usually falls under the democrats , they are the ones that almost always advocate taxes, bans or restrictions on guns or gun related stuff so given that Obama has a track history of supporting gun control it isn't extreme to get them while you can
Clearly, there's a segment of the conservative crowd that really is paranoid as hell.
These are the same people who have a small army of equipment in their basement and practice how to barricade themselves if "the socialists" come after their supply of beef jerky, or whatever. Keep that trigger finger itchy! Lots of target practice on the beer bottles. Always darting around like startled ferrets, wary of everything, since everything on the planet registers as a threat to them.
Fantasy play time is nice and all for these folks, but their psyche would really appreciate a chance for hunting season to go live. And so they post up all kinds of straw man insanities and praaaay like hell that it comes true.
"I heard that all of those immigrants, blacks, illegals, gays, lesbians, and other liberals are all planning to start a war right after the election. I hope it doesn't come to that. I don't want no trouble, but I'll have to defend myself. But I bought a hundred thousand rounds, five new guns... I'm sooooooo ready (please, God!)."

"Blacks" will be put back into chains......are the Republicans using the words "liberals," or the phrase "Obama supporters," or the word "Democrats" as code words to mean blacks???? Would that indicate any prejudice?
