If Trump wins....

Do you think there will be widespread violence/vandalism?

[sdoyel]

It’s going to happen either way. Dumb question.

I do not think trump supporters in rural small town areas (the majority of the areas he wins) will vandalize their own towns. That seems pretty far fetched.

They just shut down 2 bridges in NYC and harassed a Biden bus down the biggest interstate in Texas.

Their violence will be targeted. Most likely directed at minorities... Its entirely plausible to see the MAGA nuts drive into urban areas shooting people. It didn’t stop them in Portland or Minneapolis.

I don't think it's all that much of a mystery how things will play out if Trump monkeys with things to declare himself the supreme leader: there will be protests - loud and boisterous, but overwhelmingly nonviolent. But bad actors will add fuel to the fire, and in some places (cities with Democratic mayors/governors, most likely), the federal response will be blatantly illegal and unconstitutional.

Why don't you come clean already?

To answer your initial question. Yes, I think there will be vandalism if Trump wins.
It's inexcusable but..... Let's you and I (and others) not pretend we live the lives of many of those who are doing the vandalism, suffer from the same things many of them do, and pretend we truly understand why they do what they do - other than they have had enough. More than enough.
Ok?

Parking on a road and following a bus isn't exactly what i would consider violence and vandalism....but to each their own.

I just find the selective outrage quite obvious.

Deal.

(And no i don't think small town biden supporters will do any violence and/or vandlism... that seems to be a big city thing tbh...perpetrated by what appears to be largely younger people say 40ish an under if i had to guess)

I am not sure this place will be able to survive 4 more years of trump. The crazy lefties already chased off half of the posters during this 1st term....i can't imagine how many will be run off during his 2nd term (and potential 3rd 4th and 5th terms).

That's certainly selective something.

Those poor little snowflakes.

I am selective in my outrage but my outrage sees no bias. I can and do call out anyone and everyone despite their race, nationality, religion, gender, political affiliation, if I feel it's justified.

The people who were harassing the bus in Texas and the people blocking the road/s bridge/s in New York (and New Jersey?) are assholes. Period.

Parking and blocking a road? Is that better wording?

Surrounding and following a bus? Is that better wording?

The MAGA nuts protested the protests.

They are capable of trying anything.

This place will survive just fine.
"The crazy lefties" didn't chase off "half" the posters. Maybe some posters.
Ok, but there are other forums besides politics on this site. It's possible to abstain from looking at and posting on the politics board and still being able to look at and post on other boards.
I sincerely hope those who have been "run off" on here have found other places with like minded people if they don't like dealing with people who have different ideas and views than they do.

[Deleted User 310]

It has/had nothing to do with having "different ideas". Come on gutter. It is being labeled things like a racist if you don't fall in line with the liberal circle jerk. Or labeling people trump supporters, even though/if they didn't vote for trump, because they aren't left enough. #tolerantlefties



....and now that it is looking more and more possible that trump is going to win the election fair and square people are starting to get on edge. Even CNN went from historic landslide to holding their breath that Biden squeeks out AZ and/or PA and doesn't lose any of those other close swing states.

Exactly.

How quick people choose to forget we lived in a country that didn't consider women and Blacks to be equal despite our Declaration of Independence saying "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".
I guess women are obviously not "men" and Blacks weren't considered men either. No matter their gender.

I mention that because it seems we are heading backwards and not forwards in many ways.
There are PLENTY of MAGA "nuts" who would have no problem if this country was limited to White Christian Republicans - and true or not, I believe some (too many) of them are going to "rise up" in the not too distant future and do everything in their power to try and make it become that way.
