No surprise. Dems/libs been doing that for months. Their answer is “burn it down”, so they’ll just take it up a notch.

I mean to be fair there's just as much of a possibility of unrest emanating from the right-wing as well. With the majority of Republicans voting in person and the majority of Democrats voting via mail-in ballot, it will be very likely President Trump will win on 11/03. Once all of those mail-in ballots are counted? Joe Biden might eke it out on 11/06. President Trump will then Tweet about "voter fraud", his followers will eat it up, and there won't be a peaceful transition of power.

Are Republicans likely to torch police cars and loot small businesses and Targets if Joe Biden wins? Probably not. It's not impossible, though.

Dems are already prepared to cry “voter fraud”.

Republicans have proven not to be the cowards who loot, cause violence, “burn it down”, etc... like their counterparts when something happens that they don’t like.

I think we can use the word "patriotism" as our example. In the left US, "patriotism" is derogatory. In the right US "patriotism" is a complement. Therefore, the right won't burn cities to the ground, nor will they steal stuff like the left is known for.

I suspect Biden to win and there will be grumblings. He will get in office and do nothing as expected. 4 years later everything is still the same old same old and people will go nuts over the dumb election again for no apparent reason.

Firstly, it won't matter who wins, especially if it's close, the loser will want a recount guaranteed with how this election will be structured due to mail-in ballots. Although I don't think Supreme Leader Apprentice Star will lose, I find the notion of him contesting the ballots in the event he loses hilarious since if he wins him and his conservative circlejerk will immediately dismiss the possibility of voter fraud or error due to mail-in ballots but if he loses you can bet they'll be calling for it before the day is even up.


Secondly, it doesn't matter which party you're talking about, both do dumb things and I say that as an independent. Either side thinking their party handles civil unrest better is laughable and just shows how close-minded and out of touch they are with reality.

Already said neither side will concede.

I always love the reality star references. It proves just how ridiculous the Dems were to make H his opponent. Couldn’t even beat a reality tv star, lol.

Yep, both do dumb things, however, the right isn’t out looting, protesting, causing violence, etc..., but I do like watching the videos of them when they’re challenged and/or it goes wrong for them.

I still think the country is going to go into a nationwide lockdown after the election.

Of course you do, except it’s not a doomsday virus.

Due to the left. The right doesn't want lock downs and just wants to work and be proud Americans. The difference in the new left and the right is wild. I am glad I move over to the right. I love my country. We are so lucky on so many levels. I can't possibly align with the negative people on the left. They have gone nuts due to the massive media campaign against Trump. Never saw anything like that in my life! People are so easily led. Wild stuff.
