If I had to bet I’d be putting my money on the “don’t-tread-on-me/2A/wave-the-rebel-battle-flag/masks-are-unconstitutional-infringements-of-my-freedoms!” types to be the ones itching to wage war against their neighbors.

It is an outrageous fallacy to equate a political candidate with their followers.
I've always associated Hitler with his Brown Shirts, Mussolini with his Black Shirts, Mao with his Red Guard, Uncle Ho with his Viet Minh.

That's right. Approximately 50 prominent cities have been the scene of pillaging, thefts, personal assaults, and arson to the tune of more than a billion dollars in damage. You get to make jokes about it. :sigh:

No, I get to make jokes about your presentation of it. Which of these 50 cities do you live in?

You are flat wrong about what I think.

Those are different. Trump has not instituted violent supporters. They act autonomously. But, I do think they feel emboldened and empowered by him and the atmosphere he creates..

I think you are quite right. And Antifi types are reactionary.

You are evading the fact that if Trump wins the electoral vote and loses the popular vote you will not recognize him as president.
Well that's just a lie. You shouldn't lie.
Nobody, despite all the vapours, has staged a coup to remove trump; CERTAINLY not due to the election result. Nobody disputed it. We didn't like it. And numerous people forget that Trump was the less popular candidate. But we didn't dispute, nor did anyone try to depose trump due to the election results.

Trump was impeached though. And for very good and justifable reasons.

I feel confident that if Biden manages to eck out a win, Trump supporters will shoot people (pssst...did you notice the op?). And if Biden wins with landslide numbers, they may try to shoot people but they won't have as many supporters.


I LOVE how you greatest intellectual combat to "trump supporters threaten civil war if he is not elected" is "you would not recognize him as president".
Ouch! What a burn.

I've seen PLENTY of trump supporters at rallies full on just agree:
So if Trump wins the election, it was fair and even and you'll accept the results.
And if Biden wins the election, it was aaaaall rigged and them democrats'll git it.

If Trump wins under those conditions (very likely, if he wins) it will be by the rules set forth by our founding fathers.

The Dems have voiced their opinion that they want the popular vote, that will give them control of the presidency, exactly what they want.

Thank God we had some very intelligent forefathers that foresaw this problem.
Yes. My favourite thing about the founding fathers is that they inherently valued some people's votes more than others because some areas have less people in them and therefore make them MORE worthy.

Definitely my fav. thing about america.

Maybe I misunderstand your point...I do not consider the lawful action of the police, toward violent mobs, to be classified as fighting--not in the political sense.
Ok. Beautiful Thank you for the clarification.

Which is the American way. Plausible Deniability is the GREATEST friend to American upper classes of all types.

A handful of renegades on the right do not represent the Republican Party.

You should know that as well as a handful on the left do not represent the Democratic Party.

The argument is uncalled for!

I actually HAD respect for the Republican Party. Parts of me hope they learn from this disaster of a presidency but I am, simply put, not convinced they will. Currently there are MANY red states that are softening which suggests that at least those parts of the republican base will carry it through. Realistically though, if the Republicans lose the house and presidency, the right wing will REALLY have to figure out their future which, in my opinion, is a two party solution. In the same way that I think the democrats should split into two as well.

Then you can have a Centre Left, Centre Right, Mid right AND far right options for your elections instead of just Centre right and Far right as it currently stands.

While I DO agree that a "handful of renegades" exist on both sides of the spectrum. I don't hear the renegades on the right threatenning to rip the country apart or plunge the country into a civil war.

It has to do with the potential prolonged post-election anarchy.
Why would there be anarchy though? There is STILL an American government. No matter what, that government is NOT going away; so not anarchy.

A group of renegades (described as such by another poster) shooting Americass is not anarchy. That is murder. Period.
