Is Civil Unrest Inevitable If Trump Loses?

Featured Replies

 

As the political climate intensifies, many are wondering what could happen if Trump were to lose the upcoming election. His fervent base is known for its passionate support, but could this lead to civil unrest? With tensions rising over issues like election integrity and governance, what do you think the reaction would be? Could we see widespread protests, or will his supporters accept the outcome?

  • The rent-a-rioters will no doubt start tearing things up and burning things down, the extremest left has always thrived on this shiddy disposition of theirs.

  • It will be a rinse and repeat of the 2016-2020 civil unrest if Trump wins.  Lefties tend to throw their toys out of the cot when somebody takes their crayons away.

    I am in agreement about the rioters being less of a problem. I think instead that during her course of term should Harris win is that there may be a civil war again. Not started by people like the pro

If either side claims election fraud, then it’s likely there might be some sort of unrest. The menacing background mega funders that instigate and fund rent-a-riots will be the true culprits while the leaders and their constituencies are blamed for the root cause. The menacing cabal are hard at work to disrupt and change the West, the only thing that is standing in their way is the First and Second Amendments of the US.

I think worry about social unrest if Trump loses is the kind of fear that Trump and his hardened supporters would like people to have. But it will turn out to be nothing. A few small protests at best, but nothing on the scale of what Trump would like for people to believe. 
 

The majority of American voters aren't violent. Only the ones who have been radicalized. And everyone saw what happened to the proud boys and oath keepers after the Jan 6 riot and those fundamentalist types are probably less willing to try their luck now.
 

There have been a number of recent events where Trump asked his base to come out and protest to show their support for him and yet barely anybody ever turned up. The New York courtroom trials are a perfect example of this.

 

Lastly, the National Guard will be very much on standby and high alert after the election if Trump loses. And they will be ready to take decisive action if anything escalates. If there are any small, armed, militias after the election then they will end up learning things the hard way.  

 

In my view, it would be foolish for the average American to try and do anything violent after the election in support of a Trump loss given the above. Anything is of course possible, but certainly not worth sitting around and worrying about. The odds are stacked against it.

How on earth did you come up with that silliness, or are you just being antisocial again…& no wonder your posts are disjointed, reading comprehension impediment no doubt.

Maybe, just maybe, just possibly, it's conspiratorial allegations like this "The menacing background mega funders that instigate and fund rent-a-riots will be the true culprits ..."

Again, disjointed imaginary correlations as usual due to the lack of basic reading skills.

More of the same. You're just making empty characterizations devoid of reasoning.

Rent-a-rioters? Really. Just another instance of evidence-free conspiratorial thinking.

Not started by people like the proud boys or oath keepers. But by some states themselves wanting to seperate from the White House and Harris's agenda. There are many more people in this category than any of the 3 that are militia against the Democrats that would support their state over the feds. Either that or Harris will lead the country into WW3 with the US being invaded.

All these dire predictions of unrest are just fantastical fantasies. The bigger risk is that Trump and his new fake electors try and block the outcome of the election results again. Violence will lead to nothing, only many more incarcerations that will remove more of the radicalized freaks from the playing field.

I'm an optimist, I don't believe civil unrest is inevitable. What's inevitable is Harris winning and Trump going to prison.

A third assassination attempt after he loses? Why would anyone bother if he's already lost?

  • Popular Post

The south still hasn't gotten over losing the civil war and seems to want a rematch.  I think a good portion of real America is fed up with them and would love to give them another spanking to put them back in their place.

  • Popular Post

If it's anything like the riots after Hillary took the L in 2016, I worry more about a week of rioting, looting and burning in cities all over the country when Harris loses, than a couple of hours in one of the most secure buildings on the planet.

 

Hillary's riots made Jan6 look like a rowdy class trip to the Capitol.

because they have been stripped of their leader?

no, the assasination will take place even before the election.

there won't be an election. 

just pulling this out of my butt.

but why would there be 2 assassination attempts and then a normal election? makes no sense.

What a completely idiotic comment. There are no such things as 'fake electors'. Perhaps you should get your information from sources other than Democrat Party propaganda and do your research about elections and history. Opposing parties sending alternate slates of electors is not only legal, but in the case of the 1960 election resulted in the alternate (Democrat) slate being granted the votes.

 

Do your own research and form your own viewpoints instead of blindly parroting fake news propaganda.

He has been convicted and will be sentenced in November. We will see if he stays free. Plenty more felonies in the wings.

The problem arises when the fake electors present documents claiming that they are  the official, and not alternate, electors.

Come on! Not that debunked argument again! 😃

 

"Hawaii had not finished a partial recount by the time both parties decided to choose their electors.

But on the day Trump electors met, Georgia had already counted its ballots not once, but three times. At the end of each, Joe Biden was still the winner."

There's going to be a lot of unrest here when Trump loses, especially if it's a clear loss.

 

Most Trumpers will immediately disappear, either from this site, or from this topic. Zero will say that they were wrong.
