O.K. I’ll say it..

Nov 9 might be a very frightening day for the country.. Trump will get his ass kicked......

But he might be so freaking crazy that he will continue whipping up his supporters to the point that they begin to commit random acts of violence around the country. To what end I don’t know.

But my concern is this...I get a feeling that most of the law enforcement groups which we rely on
may not be so keen to get actively involved with the responsibilities of protecting lives and property.
Their overall anger at Dems and Liberals is obvious. Hillary and and her gang of Marxists are on the verge of taking their guns away.

My intent of posting this thread is certainly not to spread fear and.... I might be so fucking off base
that I’ll Have to delete it.. But I’d like to get some feed back.

One last thing.. I think Trump would have little fear of being led away in cuffs.. He’s has become unhinged !

1. From the talk I'm hearing from the

Knuckle draggers I work around, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see acts of violence against minorities and those suspected of voting the "wrong" way. I expect it.

2. Your comments about the police are uncalled for.

To suggest they will turn a blind eye to any violence is paranoid at best. I guess the army will join Trump and stage a coup as well.

3. Trump is getting his ass kicked now and they all know it.

"Hillary and and her gang of Marxists are on the verge of taking their guns away."

That's a lie and they all know it.

4. Nope..

Trumps minions? or perhaps millions are so full of hate and fear that they believe anything he tells them. I would say this is true for at least 25% of the country. Almost factual.

5. Depending on where you live, it may be a real fear for a while.

The problems will occur in the smaller rural areas where there's a high concentration of quislings who want "Big Daddy" to be in charge of the country and are willing to follow the Dominionists to be a big fish in a small town. They'll be hunkered down in paranoia and be looking for people who aren't like them to punish for their "loss of status".
They probably won't ease up and return to a quasi-"U.S. Citizen" status until June/July of 2017, but there will still be the resentment for the loss of respect in authoritarian small town political power that pretty near all elections after 1984 have engendered. You need to understand that their world is very small - two-thirds of the world just doesn't register in their daily lives, even as it impacts them. These people, these "Trumpettes", "Sovereign Citizens", and "Seven Mountains" believers, honestly think that half of the country should just be gotten rid of so they can live their lives the way they want to.
As a side, I think that's pretty much the GOP's Jobs plan - marginalize and disenfranchise liberal and other "undeserving" minorities enough that they'll either be in prison or otherwise "gone", so the loyal "Joe Sixpack" can take the job "Jane Latte" had - with just a bit of training (that Joe would have to pay premium interest for) for lower wages.

These people don't really want to realize the very technology they depend on to make their lives "comfortable" is what's killing their personal sense of power, along with destroying the supposedly traditional view of their way of life. That the technology makes it easier for wealthy people to prey on them if they don't actually try to grow past their passive lifestyles and be part of the larger world outside the small walled off reality they've built for themselves.

And they probably never will accept that. I deal with enough people who live in the back country away from all that "liberal influence" to anticipate how they're going to react when their "saviors" lose because 3/4 of the country just doesn't live in the insulated echo-chamber they live in.

Anyway, treat them with the kindness and respect their actions don't deserve, and keep your head down through summer. Confronting them with reality right now is like cornering a wounded animal. Or a wounded Bear...

9. I made a separate point in my thread.

Which suggest that local law enforcement might not be 100% reliable..Their hatred of civilian review boards and anything else which challenges their authority is huge.

6. They aren't going to do jack shit except wallow in their misery. They are cowards, just like Trump.

10. I'm with you. Didn't take much to stoke

the crazy in the guy who shot Gabby Gifford. I hope we're dead wrong, but it would not surprise me to see one or two isolated wing nuts go off in the days after the election. I'm also afraid of a serious confrontation at a polling place- after the head wing nut called for "monitors". Again, I hope I'm way off base.
