So basically, we now have a situation where there are members of each party that think that if the other guy wins it will be The End Of America As We Know It - and that their side's loss can only happen through some kind of unfair shenanigans by the corrupt enemies on the other side.

It honestly seems like no matter what happens there will be chaos.

How does America ever get back to anything approaching normal again? I really don't know how we get out of this. People really are deeply entrenched in their separate realities, and in each those realties the country will be destroyed by the winner.

I know that there are plenty of folks in the middle that are nowhere near that extreme but it really is hard to tell how big that middle is anymore.

What do you guys think we are in for? And do you ever think sanity will return?

If Biden wins (unlikely), there will be no "chaos", as conservatives are civilized.

If Trump wins (likely), the dems will riot, burn and loot.

Do we see a pattern here? Dems are increasingly "going Asiatic" and cannot live by the normal rules of a civilized society, resorting to violence as a matter of course when they do not get their political desires.

The deep state needs to go. The FBI and so many agencies that are corrupt to the core need to be cleaned up. The swamp is still very real.

I say end all career politics. It should be a brief service, not a lifelong military-style career.

As terrible as Trump has been for America, our county has been through much, much worse

Regardless of who wins, you might have a few of the fringe crazies march in the streets and whine.. but I doubt anything comes of it

If Frump loses, nobody cares if he refuses to leave office. Secret Service will remove him on January 21st

The only difference is that Republicans who think it'll be the end of the country won't take to the streets tearing down buildings, burning up the town, rioting, looting, etc.

And since the mayhem is really far more likely to happen in the dem cities, I'm in a great place to let it roll off my back -- small town America where there's an armed redneck behind every bush!

Crush the Democrats at the ballot box and they will learn that their insanity will not pay.

Its that simple. Democrats have no morals. They simply want power. And they think this is working.

Yes- Isn't that priceless?

Dems are so dumb that when they are angry at conservatives, they burn down liberal towns!

And if anyone thinks the dems are going to get less crazy going forward, they have not been paying attention. Dems and libs will get more and more violent over time.
