Trump Humpers Would Start A Civil War If Electors Revolted. Don't Expect It To Happen.

I believe Trump humpers would go ballistic if electors stopped Trump. They would start civil war. We must remember we are dealing with a dangerous 2nd amendment mentality mob these days. Expect reprisals for criticizing Trump once he is sworn in. I expect we are stuck with this stinking fish for president. And we are stuck with an unruly mob who put him in.

Trump has unleashed a Pandora's box of racism, bigotry, misogyny and hatred that cannot now be closed. I fear we are headed for some nasty times moving forward. And Trump will stir up his supporters to suppress free speech. The RW desires to eliminate progressive thought from the political landscape forever.

now, the fantasy scenario wherein the house votes for some other republican (pence, ryan, whomever) or even somehow, inexplicably, hillary, *that* would lead to open revolt.

the fact of the matter is you can't tell 62 million people your guy won and then take that away from them unless you manage to get them to hate the guy first. russian involvement in the election ain't gonna cut it. salacious video is necessary for that.

Our forefathers had the same debate when deciding whether or not to declare their independence from England. Quite a few colonies were opposed on the grounds it might start a war. They did I it nonetheless because it was the right thing to do do. Not standing up to a Trump because one is afraid of making waves and angering his supporters is the exact same thing.

Most of those idiots are cowards at the core. Once confronted with the might of the police and the military, if necessary, they will back down.

We should not give them an inch whatsoever.

at this point we are probably better off if he's sworn in. Only the republicans can change the minds (there must be another way to say that!?) of the Trumphumpers.

We should suggest that people in other countries don't take the bait that a Trump Administration will throw out there. Kim Jung Un needs to keep his wits about him (instead of shooting them).

I don't really expect anything unexpected tomorrow (though I also didn't expect anything unexpected on election day), but I'd be happy for some real changing-the-course-of-history shit if it did come to pass. Whatever the cost.

The road we're headed down, as a nation, is four years long, and full of damage and unforgivable errors.

Beats living under the tyranny of the minority. Trump and company haven't shown even an ounce of bipartisanship or compromise despite losing by the popular vote. Rather than trying to heal the divide, they've ripped it open wider and poured salt in.

Otherwise his "solution" will be to bomb NY and LA. I'm not sure if the military would be willing to disobey his order.

I disagree.
Do you really see Pence tweeting insanity from his gold toilet at 4AM?
He is more of a standard piece of shit republican who would tow the party line.
The maggot is just plain insane.
Caligula/Nero insane.

Pence is distasteful yes.
