like george carlin, i don't vote so i could care less who wins the election, but i do care about the city and my own personal safety and the safety of my friends and family

i'm concerned we could be entering a period of chaos here in pittsburgh, not portland or seattle level chaos, but chaos that results in stores re-applying plywood to their storefronts and people feeling like it's not safe to go out

i think trump is going to win, again not that i care one way or the other, and biden is not going to concede because hillary, who essentially runs the DNC, said "Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances"

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...-advice-401641

even if trump wins by a large margin, biden could take the position the election was hacked or interfered with by the russians causing a large number of votes for trump even though the polls show biden leading by double digits

https://www.npr.org/2020/10/15/92394...ead-over-trump

i'm not rushing out to buy firearms or anything like that, but i am making sure the pantry is fully stocked and i am getting mentally prepared for more helicopters flying around and sirens on fifth avenue

What I expect to happen after November 3:

It will turn chilly, dark and wet.
A Pittsburgh team will choke and erieguy will gloat about it.
gg will drink too much and blame the media for something
Either the potholes or snow removal situation will upset somebody.
Somebody will open an artisan pierogie food truck.
Peduto will get in front of a microphone and upset somebody else for not addressing their pet topic.
Uber will continue to be nowhere near a working robot car of the future.
People like me will continue to be blamed for destroying the East End when all I’m doing is sitting on my couch watching netflix.
Somebody will be downtown protesting something.

You forgot virus talk and how everything should be “locked down” for everyone’s safety.

There will certainly be repercussions if Trump wins, but not like what will be seen in other cities.

I remember after Obama was elected, the daily drumbeat of negative reporting about Iraq was immediately ended. The war was rarely mentioned by the news media or politicians after that. When I saw that, I stopped watching the MSM. The same thing will happen with virus reporting if Biden wins.

Bingo. For now, the Dems are playing this virus to death, which interestingly enough isn’t a doomsday virus at all.

It is amazing. Also amazing how all republicans are "racists" now and during the past 3.5 years. The media sure is using race to fire a lot of people up. Worst than back in the '60s now. Then there is the antipolice thingy the media has going. Anti historical figures, even Lincoln. They really want people to hate our history. Sadly, most don't know enough about REAL history and are easily led into a dumb path. Of course if Biden gets in that will all mellow and not be a focus.

This about sums it up. I do hate what the out of control media does to us. Just destroying our fiber. Oh well, we have been very blessed in the US and will continue to be regardless of the anarchists that are allowed to do as they please with a police escort.
