If Trump wins, we could have a low grade civil war in the days afterwards. People should plan to "shelter in place" for a few weeks not because of Covid but because of the unrest on the streets. Have everything you need to stay at home for a true lockdown for a few weeks.

If Trump wins, I think there will be quite a bit of violence in large cities. I do hate to say the following because it makes me feel like I'm a bad person, but I am almost looking forward to all the 'apologists' for violence getting what they asked for (or at least supported) directed at themselves. (Meaning that I don't think that many violent protesters will be asking non-participants how they voted before they start harming them or their property.)

Let them riot and let others react. At that point there will be no reason to hold anything back.

Perhaps in some weird way it be best, for the apologists to reap what they sow. Perhaps in such a chaotic and uncivil string of riots, they will wake up and realize that the giant global media industry, giant global tech industry, Hollywood, Sports and the establishment political system was wrong.



Or it will fuel another social justice movement (BLM 2.0), or sexual orientation movement (something new to the LGBTQZ group), or something like that.

Meh, that depends on where you live and the people around you.

Can't see it happening in my my town or anywhere near it.

No matter who wins.

Yeah, they'll riot anyway if they win.

Btw, wasn't a story where LBJ once claimed then riots will happen in Barry Goldwater was elected?

The claim was that Trump will take control of the prices during his 2nd term. I am against such government involvement.

If we had free markets, one manufacturer would not be in position to increase the price from $13 to $750.

The Democrats May Not Be Able to Concede

So you are bothered by a media source that most people on the right say that nobody listens to, but I can't seem to find your post where Trump allies (Stone and his buddy) are calling for Trump to claim authoritarian law if he loses the election.

How do you feel about that? Trump has not condemned the comments, maybe some of his supporters will be brave and patriotic enough to?

If the Dems win the popular vote and lose there will be riots and chaos. So in other words, we should leave it up to NYC, LA, SF and Chicago to elect our next president. There are many republicans that don’t vote in those states because of the overwhelming amount of Democrat support. I’m sure if republicans actually voted in those states to a higher degree there wouldn’t be this popular vote argument. I’m republican in California and will be voting.
