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.
Trumps voters will not Burn, loot and murder. We may be vocal, but won’t destroy property while throwing a temper tantrums

Well, there will probably be some downright nasty hissy fits in the White House.

You mean I’ll finally get to use the stacks of gold bullion I’ve been hoarding in my cellar?

Since when?

That's a democrat thing bro.

If Trump wins, prepare for it. Not the other way around.
Nah, they'll just bunker up on Federal land, kidnap a few governors, have their White is Right rallies, stuff like that.

i think you are being a little sensationalist but i do think the election results will be contested beyond the end of the year. A clean transition of power is not likely.

after reading through this thread it appears the people voting for Biden or against Trump don't realize what they are doing to themselves. if Biden wins and the dems take control -- and you are in any kind of pension or retirement plan that must invest in US Bonds -- don't say you were not warned. if you work in any industry that can pick up and move due to higher tax rates - don't say you were not warned. if you are expecting freedom loving Americans to roll over and watch govt. get bigger - don't say you were not warned. if you are expecting prices for food, energy and necessities to remain at current levels - don't say you were not warned. if you are expecting people who abide by the laws to allow govt. to look the other way with select groups and career politicians - don't say you were not warned. Etc., etc.


it's not going back to normal. the dems gave that option up through their actions these last 4 years.

It already shifted towards Trump. Come election day millions will go to the poles, having not taking a chance on dumpster voting.

Hopping on the pole is an interesting way for you to spend election day. To each their own.

I worried about this scenario for a minute, but I think:

If Biden loses big (doubtful), he'll concede
If it's close, the losing side (Biden or Trump) will litigate, just like 2000. It will eventually get resolved.
If Trump loses big, hopefully he'll concede, but if he doesn't, I think he won't have enough support to stay in office after losing. Sure, his base will make issues, but I don't think the military, GOP senators or others will stand beside him. Their already jumping ship pretty quickly.


In any case though, I think there will be burning and looting, but hopefully it will be brought under control fast. I don't think Trump will be able to stay in office if he's soundly defeated, even though he's hinted that he'll try.

Im more worried about these corporate executives going "Outsource crazy" or just laying people off like crazy and pocketing the change once Biden gets elected. These companies are what we really need to worry about. Not a bunch of goofballs on the street
