During the 1860s, partisanship rallied Democrats to the cause of slavery.

Not much, as long as the economy bounces back.

Take a look at how often posters criticize the politicians they vote for. It seldom happens. There will be no uprising. None. Those who vote for Biden will defend all that he does and those who voted for Trump will whine but won't be out there destroying things.

It will go away as soon as this no longer serves the Democratic party. If Biden wins, it all goes away, because Democratic puppet masters are behind this and Democratic mayors and governors will stop sitting on their hands allowing it.

Red States will nullify federal law, rebuff and defy federal orders and legislation. Federal officials will be sent to enforce and violence will occur. A large block of red states will move towards secession.

Secession is the likely outcome for either a leftist sweep or a conservative sweep of the election. Hopefully the nation could break up peacefully but civil war is a more likely prospect.

One way for less violence to occur is a split government comes from the election. One party wins the White House and the other wins congress. This would result in useless government which could not proceed on any agenda or even function. No major changes could occur and current levels of anger and hatred would still simmer in our streets. This is not a good outcome but it would delay a civil war. No matter what we are in a lot of trouble. Our country is split down the middle between two irreconcilable positions. Forty percent of our citizens are full on Venezuela style socialists. They are violent and will not back down until they get what they are demanding. We must at some point face the revolutionaries and defeat them. It has to happen.
It's never the people on the right who go out into the street and engage in violent and destructive behavior. It's just not. Having said that, 99% of the people on the left aren't doing it either - but the people who ARE doing it - are on the left.

Nothing will happen if Biden wins other than Harris eventually taking over and our country will go along with the Great Reset that was discussed at the World Economic Forum in January. That means capitalism will start to be eliminated and we'll slowly start moving toward socialism.

I feel like something else *ahem* will magically disappear if they win.

Your right we conservatives will not riot. What we will do is our state governments will organize a resistance to the federal socialist takeover. Conservatives don’t riot, we organize actual rebellions that have purpose. What we do will more resemble 1776 which was a successful secession from the British Empire or what we did in 1861 which was a very near successful secession from the federal government. We are way more powerful today than we were in 1860. It would be foolhardy for leftists to think we will become socialist peacefully.

Look at the temper tantrums we are seeing during a pandemic. If Trump wins cities will be completely burned to the ground by the democrats. They are VERY violent.

The left has never failed to take over a country it has set its eyes on, and has never failed to use whatever force was necessary to make it happen. If they can convince people to elect them in to power they can take over peacefully for the most part, but when they cannot, they just take power anyway when they feel they have the strength to do so. The left isn't asking us if they can have our country so much as they are telling us it is theirs, and giving us a chance to hand it over peacefully. We've taken too long to do it so they are pressing matters in a more aggressive manner now.

I say it's a 7. We will see some major violence and it will be worse than the Floyd riots. But it will be confined to the inner cities.
Whatever it is right now minus any momentum they have piled up.

The democrats already know they have lost the thing and are flailing around like petulant crybabies wondering why everything the Fakestream Lamestream Blamestream Mainstream media, academia, the FBI CIA NSA weaponized politicized DOJ from both sides, Hollywood, the Clinton Campaign Foundation and Fusion GPS, Russia Russia Russia Mueller-Time, Obstruction Contusion, Whistleblower Hoax, Impeachment, Stormy Putin, Black Lies Murder and antifa, Covid-19, riot loot and arson, etc. threw at Trump couldn't take him out.

They've run out of bullets and they've ground down their teeth.

But, they can always Waa! Not my pWesident! Waa! off into the sunset, and they will.

I'd buy stock in Kleenex, and if we could ever get Nancy Pelosi out of there, we might be able to replenish our National Supply of toilet paper.

And if Trump loses how many arm chair warriors plan on engaging in an armed revolution as some claim from the comfort of their home?

Most people don’t engage in protests.

There are more protest agendas than protesters in the streets.

Most protesters yell and go home and do not engage in civil unrest.

Anarchists and opportunists hijack protests.
