The following riots by BLM protesting the treatment of this angel will be more violent/destructive because Trump is in the White House.
And then trump sends in 5000 troops with rubber bullets and snuffs out the thuggery in just a few hours

Right now the gold standard in election predictions belongs to Nate Silvers 538 in my opinion. Currently Trump has a 14.1% probability of winning. So while it is unlikely for him to win, its certainly not THAT unlikely.

As for what to do if Trump were to win...shrug. Same thing I do now. I go to work everyday, and try and enjoy my weekends.

LOL. Oh you have NO idea what would happen next do you? A nice sound bite. Reality of it would be FAR different. This sort of thing is a horrible thing to occur in a democracy. Once the open combat starts its hard to fix a country.

You guys are deluded. Trump has less than a 15% chance of winning at this point. Let it sink in. You've already lost.

Will Democrats "accept" Trump winning? OR will they throw a fit, demand investigations, recounts and indulge in their favorite form of protests....Riots?
What will Democrats do? I can't say, considering they are a very diverse group of individuals, you'd have to ask each and every one what that individual will do to get an honest answer. But I don't think you want an honest answer. So, I'll tell you what I, an individual liberal, will do if Trump gets elected:

Life will go on, much the same as it does now. Not much will change. I'll get up Nov. 9th, pray for my country, and the world much as I do most days. If it's a Thursday, I'll go to my women's group, where we do Bible studies and pray together. I'll wait and see what he does, how he governs, and if I don't like it, in four years I will vote against him.

Oh My GOSH! He might hit a 15% possibility of success.

Seriously, Trump is VERY unlikely to win. But he has a chance. Lets not be unrealistic though. Currently the most probable result is a massive Clinton blowout.
