No. When they try and prevent the peaceful transition of power, it will not happen because they will not allow it to happen peacefully. More probably by the designs of the white power fucktard that happens to be the president right now.


Do you honestly think there will be widespread violence if Trump loses?

Personally, I think it would depend on how we're defining 'widespread.' I don't necessarily think that half the country will engage in open revolt, but things tend to move so fast I often forget that a guy ramped up on white power fever rammed his car into a crowd of people and murdered somebody. That wasn't that long ago. I don't think it's far-fetched to think that kind of thing could happen again should things not go Trump's way (and certainly if Trump is fanning the flames).

Imagine the violence if he actually gets reelected.

Absolutely. He’s already sowing the seeds.

This is what I was getting at. I would expect the new norm will be sporadic violence and protests, but this insinuation of widespread chaos is ridiculous. Ironically, the point of Russia messing with our elections to create that exact fear in the voter base, the “those guys over there are scary and violent and our team cannot compromise one bit” plan, thereby making people fear democracy.

I think it a good indication would depend on how Trump reacts. If he throws a few Twitter temper tantrums, I would imagine nothing would happen. If he's constantly on television, directly telling supporters that the vote is illegitimate, that would be a different story. I think people's concern is that they have no problem envisioning him doing that.

Or that some people want his supporters to do that so they don’t have to see them as human

He’s going to start saying the election will be fixed against him, out at rallies in the campaign. Bank on it.

He did that all thru the last election. Hell, he was doing it even after he won! Of course there’s no problem envisioning him doing that. He’s already done it.

You know that many of his supporters, not all, have done some pretty vile acts that might require us to view them as less than human. I dont give a shit about white power and nazi's and people marching down the streets saying jews will not replace us.

Its okay to hate these people, BI.

This is a real lose/lose situation. Whatever the result the other side won't accept it.
