1. In other words: They plan on cheating do brazenly, that if it came out it could trigger incidents

Far be it from me to justify violence (which onyl helps your enemy, besides); but crimes, when shameless enough, often do trigger rash reactions.

God forbid - becuase it would play right into those tiny orange hands.

[Iliyah]

2. You and your bullies are

promoting violence if GOPers don't win. Fear, fear, fear. Lie, lie, lie. Cheat and steal.

Want the Russians to rig the elections again with the help of GOPers, again.

3. This is a total dog whistle

To incite his MAGATs to violence. Fucking criminal.

[0rganism]

4. guessing this means he'll just ignore it and claim he knows nothing if it happens

i'm sure his base got the message loud and clear

[Mc Mike]

5. Listen, twitler, how about you and your 'holy joes' don't start none.

Won't be none.

Otherwise, 'Land of the Free, Home of the Brave', and all that.

6. He'll look the other way

is that what he meant? "I don't want to see it" is kind of a weak admonition. Almost like saying "if it happens, it happens, I had nothing to do with it."

7. So let me get this straight...

...If the Dems win, we're going to riot in the streets and beat on random people... why? Because we're so happy we won that we act like we're angry?

But if everyone listens to Trump and the Dems lose all the elections, we WON'T resort to violence, right? Because we're so pissed at losing everything we'll just stay home and mope?

"Trump Logic" is an oxymoron.

10. It also is mob double talk

Boss - I don't want to see anything happen to Jimmy Two Shoes to an underling, who knows he needs to put the hit on him. His way of tweaking the cranked up base.

8. Too late, he already rung the bell. He can't unring it as ppl already heard it. nt

[duforsure]

9. In trumpspeak it means

I can incite others to use violence for me, then deny it too.
