At this point it's pretty obvious regardless of one's political affiliation that the election is basically over unless we see some extremely unprecedented things next month. With that being said, are people going to snap when Hillary gets elected? The type of hate this woman receives is like nothing this country has ever scene. She'll probably start out at a 30% approval rating as insane as that sounds.

I have no doubt that if Trump was elected, we would see violence; however, the people that hate hillary the most don't really have a record of wide-scale violence, but will Hillary change that. Will this presidency spark some big-time social unrest?

Don't confuse Trump/3rd party voters with the majority of Hillary's voting base that look for a reason to snap and "riot" in the name of "unfairness" for any reason they can find & before the proof/verdict is in.

How does one not "accept" the election of a POTUS?

I had no choice but to accept the past 8 years of Obama, didn't have to like it.

Didn't snap, either.

I believe we'll have more unrest, division and violence with Hillary in office. But it will be liberal, democrat voters doing it just like it is now with Obama.

If Trump is elected there may be more initial violence by liberals but we'll soon be able to clean up the troublemakers and the end result will be more harmony.

Let's face it the worst a politician can *********, except in rare cases, is about 20% of your income. The fact is both major candidates main proposals suck. Gridlock is our best hope.

It is in fact not over. Nate Silver gives him a well considered chance of 13.7%.

And I would hope people start cooling off and realizing that getting too upset about this stuff is crazy. In the end, whichever candidate wins will get called President Trump or President Clinton. And I hope they make good decisions. And folks, thats what we need to do.

She'll use her position to acquire power, status, and money, and play the role the globalists would have her play. She's not ultra liberal like Sanders was, so I wouldn't plan on her taking down wall street or the big banks and corporations, these entities are her bread and butter.. she'll take bribes from them and keep the status quo going. I don't think there's a huge difference between her and Trump... they are both quite moderate and Trump is much more liberal than he's leading on. With that said I already cast my vote for Trump.

I'm not too worried about who's president nor do I care to oust the federal reserve or the globalists... I'm going to live my life and work on myself and watch with semi-casual interest and not a lot of emotional investment.

1: the election has not happened yet, so there is no "winner"

2: remember the headline "DEWEY BEATS TRUMAN"? dont count trump out yet

3: how many other elections was it suggested that one candidate was the clear winner before the election happened, and yet the other candidate won?

4: how many times has trump been counted out in this election cycle?

this election i have a feeling is going to be like the 2000 election with it going down to the wire, and one state will decide who wins. we shall see on election day. until then there is no reason to declare a winner as yet.

Problem is you can't argue with electoral votes, and Trump isn't even close. He'd need NV Ca and NY to pull this off. As for accepting Hillary, if she tries to take our guns, no.

I would have until this election not considered such a thing possible in the U.S.

However, if Donald Trump's screws get just a little looser I believe that he will mindlessly and with great delight try to stir up civil unrest. His behavior runs a narrow gamut from mental midget to madman, and the "insult" of losing could unhinge him.
