Do you think there will be violence on Nov 4th?

I think when Biden wins, they’ll be celebrating and dancing in the streets—which will trigger the republicans/conserve/alt right who will then create violence and havoc.

I voted in isolated areas but I'm hoping I'm wrong. 

Our department is preparing. We have a plan in place in case DD and I need to leave.
It got bad here with the riots. Rioters were charged after following LEO families home and threathing them.

Hopefully not, but prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

I read yesterday that DC businesses are already boarding up the windows.

I too think the Trumpers are the ones that are more likely to cause havoc regardless of the outcome of the election. If he gets re-elected they will be running around all crazy like they did the first time, rubbing it in and eager to bathe themselves in liberal tears, especially the most right wing, 2A nationalist crowd. They will be even more emboldened than they have already been encouraged to be.

If he loses, they will totally lose their shit claiming that the election was rigged and demand recounts, etc. I’m sure his supporters would be completely okay with him not conceding or agreeing to step down peacefully. I think this past summer’s protests would pale in comparison to what these folks have already shown that they are capable of.

businesses boarding up windows in anticipation of election day violence is NOT the America I thought I lived in... this saddens me.  Sad isn't the right word, but it's as close as I can come right now.  The events that have been happening here are things I used to hear about on the news about some far-away banana republic with a dictator and his toady-suck-up-cronies, but I guess that IS what we are now.  

We just got an email at work today outlining the procedures in place should there be "incidents of civil unrest". Never, ever thought I'd see an email like that come out from my place of employment.

FFS!!! This is what a Trump presidency has done to us!! I cannot (and will never) understand why Republicans refuse to see this. 

When Trump loses, those "militia" men who have already inserted themselves into situations they have no business being in will lose their shit. If you live in an area where this type of collective thinking is prominent, I'd be concerned, not scared, but definitely aware and would probably even keep a firearm in the house. I'm not sure where or who their collective anger will be targeting, but if you aren't white, Christian, and straight you've already got a target on your back from these groups and the rest of us "libtards" will be next. Imagine living your live pissed at others for your own bad life choices.

I think this too—if you look at encounters of Democrats, Progressive’s, BLM prochoice on corners and streets —its the trumpets that go up on them right into their faces screaming, spitting, and scary threatening violence, or the women in that group who pull the Karen’s of being the aggressor and threatening, then start crying or screaming when no one has said/done anything to them.


I don’t expect our neighborhood to riot. I do know that quite a few liberal friends have gone to purchase guns and start to practice, just in case they need to defend themselves.

Funny story (not really) one if my good friends went to Dick’s to see about purchasing a gun. He’s small, tattooed, clean cut, well dressed.

He’s at the counter talking to the guy about purchasing, and 2 other guys are there buying ammo, gun stuff—big guys, country look, beards. They’re having a conversation about the “god damned liberals, and we’re going to be armed and those god damned liberals ain’t gonna see it coming, etc.” They leave, my friend finishes his business and heads over to Walmart to look at ammo.

The same 2 guys are there! They see my friend and mention that they saw him at the other store. They “welcome” my friend, ask him what gun he bought, friend tells them and that he’s looking for ammo. They take him under their wing and spend a good 30 minutes telling him about the gun, ammo, ranges.

They then feel comfortable enough to start their “god damned liberal” talk, that “they’ll be prepared” and the “libs won’t know what hit them”

My friend said he just looked down and shook his head, then look directly at them and says “I’m one of them” they looked confused so he said again, “I’m one of them—a liberal, and guess what? We own guns too!”

They turned away and went to another part of the counter.

Friend said it was funny to see their faces drop—like they thought only republicans had guns or all liberals were against guns.

This is the exact reason a few of my friends who never had guns before, purchased them and started practicing. They are going to be ready to defend their homes and person if needed.

Trump is going to announce he won, no matter what the precincts have projected, and when it turns out Biden won he's going to call for violence claiming that the Dems stole the election. That's why there will be violence. 

@leowife I am curious why you always refer to rioters and protesters as being the violent ones, but no mention of the "militias" of Trump supporters as being a threat.

Here it was not Trump supporters but it was the "peacful protesters" that rioted. Broke windows, smashed cars, threw projectiles at LEO, spit at them,attacked families and on and on.

I've had no interaction with the "milita".

Here those rioters have also destroyed huge Trump billboards, destroyed county property and have thrown rock through the city halls windows.

I refuse to call them peacful as they are not.




Bring on the peacful all for that.

My experience is not with the militias but the rioters.

Exactly!

One only has to look as far as team trump as the source of the violence and division.
