There we go again with that word 'protesters'.

No one sane is ready to see protesters dead. Rioters , on , the other hand.

Running through your streets, lighting things on fire, smashing looting, destroying private businesses, assaulting any who try to intervene. Yeah.,..Rioters have got to go.

If Trump loses, he has said he won't accept the results. He won't leave the WH an he'll order his followers to bring their guns out into the street and start rioting and shooting up the country until Congress agrees to keep him President. Mark my words that's what he's planning if he loses.

Sure, and they are funded by subsidies and bailouts paid by the evil city people.

US Economic output:

Urban areas = 85%
Rural = 15%

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against farmers.

And all this hate came from the left.

The same group who preaches tolerance.
They are the new Nazi's. Tell a lie, tell it big enough and the people will buy it. They are making republicans and trump supporters into a hated class like the jews were in Nazi Germany.

On the other are Trump supporters and Republicans.

Once Trump gets reelected this Fall, that's all the excuse BLM and their minions need to 'protest,' riot, and loot. It's really going to be a scary time for Trump supporters. We are already at risk of losing our jobs and even our lives of we even remotely hint that we support Trump.

We are already starting to see backlash. Trump supporters are openly marching in support of Trump.

Speculation, agitation and fear-mongering. Poll numbers looking worrisome? Trying to drum up votes for your guy?

I remember all those riots after Obama won. All those rednecks hit the streets and burned and looted the towns. IT was glorious. c'mon.

Talking about not accepting the results? For the past 4 years they have not accepted Trump. "Not My President" remember that one? 4 years of nothing but sore loser tactics trying to oust him instead of working on American people.

Look out the window.,.it is not Trump supporters that businesses and normal folk are afraid of marching down their streets smashing things.

Rwandan's did it to their own people, and there is a lot of hate and propaganda in US too, so maybe Trump would have enough willing executioners.

People are going to start leaving if the rhetoric gets any worse. Tom Hanks already bailed.

It really had nothing to do with Trump, except that he has done nothing to address the issue and instead tends to respond with force. When in history have you seen a popular protest movement successfully and permanently put down by force?

If Trump wins, then nothing has changed and protests will continue about as much as now. If Biden wins, he will announce a raft of police reform actions and the protesters will go home. The real civil war threat is if one candidate is declared the winner and the other side is convinced that the election was a fraud.

But whoever wins or loses it WILL be a rigged election. Either side will be convinced the other side didn't win fairly. Trump's people more so, but Biden's people too if Trump wins because everyone expects Trump to appeal to Putin to rig a win in his favor. It's in the news every day and people expect a rigged election.

Except you are wrong on that. Sure there might be some radicals, but the majority are just normal people.

I just walked my street today, it's about 3 mile walk there and back. We all have 2 acre lots. A mixture of people. My neighbor is a anesthesiologist, he and his wife are Trump supporters. The neighbors to the other side are retired, he worked in the automotive industry, they are Trump supporters. Another neighbor was a school teacher, and her husband owned an electrical company, they are Trump supporters and then there were about 3 other houses, that had signs, but I don't know them. These are all nice homes, with quiet low key families. And that is just on my street. My friends range from sales people, retired law enforcement, business owners, immigrant business owners , engineers and designers. We are all Trump supporters. None of us are radical, we don't attend protests, many of us don't even engage in social media ( I wish I didn't) so just normal people.
