Regardless of which side you are on, I think it is pretty safe to say that we are in for a really rough ride over the next few months. There is no scenario I can imagine where there will be no violence.
Trump wins in a landslide = Burn, Loot and Murder
Trump wins in a close election = Burn, Loot and Murder
Biden wins in a close election = Burn, Loot and Murder
Biden wins in a landslide = Burn, Loot and Murder
I don't see Trump or Biden conceding. This disaster kicks off on November 3rd, but we will be dealing with this into January easy. Probably longer.
I hope everyone is ready. I definitely don't recommend being in a large liberal city, but the crap is going to hit the fan all over the country.
Certainly a possibility especially if Trump wins. Trump can't win a landslide, so take that possibility off the table. if Trump wins it will be close (probably best he can do is about as well as George W Bush did in 2004 when he won by about 3%) and yes, if he wins the leftist goons will be back out doing what they do.
If Biden wins I am not sure you will see rioting, but you might see stock market chaos especially if they decide to do some major lockdowns.
Either way - buckle up, it's going to be entertaining.
I choose optimism. Our system has been strained to the limit over the last couple of years. Still one of the great things about this country is that we accept the outcomes of our elections and trust our institutions to work. That trust has been put to the test, and I will be the first to admit that not every single member of the electorate fully accepted the 2016 results. But the vast majority did, whether they supported Trump or not. The optimist in me tells me that this is a moment where we can show that those mores are still strong in this country, and thsat whatever the outcome there will be a peacefukl transition into the nect term, whther it be a first term or a second term.
Really? We accept the outcome of elections?
I must have missed where Hillary Clinton accepted her loss 4 years ago.
The scenario doesn't matter, any rioting will be the same people regardless. There will just be more, at first, if Trump wins.
People like me are not going to destroy businesses and attack homes because our guy lost an election.
Pretty much the same way I feel.
The wife and I will continue to go to work, we've already been avoiding the city (Detroit) and we will just tighten the belt , and reduce some spending, just in case things turn for the worst. We already know our taxes will be going up, so , just preparing for that and whatever else heads our way.

If Biden wins the cities won’t be touched. You may see another Charlottesville type of scenario and a few gun nut rednecks go postal, but that’s about it. I could see more protests and cities burning if Trump wins, however.
Well yeah, eventually they will find something else to riot about.
But they would be happy at least for a while if Biden won.
I don't disagree with your premise, however, I'm afraid you might be missing something there.
This is about so much more for the left, than just a Biden win. The next time the dem/communists win, they will make certain they can never "lose" again.
They will riot, in an attempt to shift the blame for it to the right, giving them a fake "moral high ground" to purge the right from existence. They are organized and they have a plan. Total dominance, one way or the other. This is their revolution, and they will win it, if they take resistance, or not. (at least that is their attitude)
They have begun their violence before the election, they intend to ramp it up after it has come and gone.......mark my words.
Regardless of who wins, or by how much, the violence is going to get a lot worse. I would just be prepared and take care of yourself and your family. Expect the worst, but hope for the best.
I vehemently disagree. If Trump wins riots and such are a gimme from the left. But if Biden wins those same people who would perpetuate violence and mayhem will take that as a license to go on a purge.
Bolshevik style hammering of political opposition. Ah yes they know who you are. Either way a huge number of folks are fed up with this communist style bilge.
It will be open season on ANTIFA type varmints. I'm truly praying things stay at least manageable on the orderly scale. But if they dont no matter the why I've got my bases covered.
It'll be out of here and back to my real home. Where I have room, people that have my back and i have their's, and nobody tells us how to live or what to think. The latter being my biggest heartburn with leftists.

Polling numbers on Trump approval say differently.
When 30%+ say he was doing a bad job on the economy - with record low unemployment for all but especially minorities, real wage gains for all but especially minorities, tax cuts for all, but especially those making under $120K (75% of people) - then you know they refused to accept or support in any way.
The tilt toward Biden recently and the real possibility of a landslide victory for Biden (+10 popular)
Bless your heart.
