I’m thinking mass labor strike. But first, we march.
I think if Trump wins there could be a couple violent demonstrations in places like Portland or something. I think after about a week it will be business as usual for the most part, aside from social media outrage. With Trump having a potential entire four more years of power, there will probably be renewed attempts for impeachment.
What? You guys are gonna go all Timothy McVeigh or something because you lost an election based on the rules of that election?
If Trump gets elected again, its nobodys fault but your own.
If you were paying attention you might have noticed that it’s not “us guys” claiming there will be “considerable violence”. It’s the OP’s baseless assertion, which has been heavily disputed.
Pretty sure it’ll be the fault of the people who vote for him.
You gonna sit around and act like there isn’t any leftwing violence happening right now?
So in that little noggin of yours, your party loses and its the fault of the people who didn’t vote your way? How dare those voters. The audacity. :rolleyes:
Maybe, just maybe, y’all should look inward and ask yourselves why you are so close to losing (again) to an orange loudmouth with bad hair? I have never in my life see such a large group of people so against taking any responsibility for their own shortcomings as the left does and continues to do. Not only that but they double down on the same crap that lost them the election the first time.
Perhaps if you’d like to comment on what I wrote rather than things you’re pretending I wrote, we can have a constructive conversation.
You do understand how democracy works, right? I’m only asking because you seem to be struggling here.
…says the person who is currently blaming people who didn’t vote for a candidate for that candidate’s victory.
What should happen if he won would be to move the capital to Moscow and abandon Washington. Board up the monuments and museums and memorials until such time as we deserve them. Eliminate Congress and the courts as the people would have chosen despotism, which is fine with a lot of people because he hates the same people that they do.
Democrats will lose their shit, to the extent that they have their shit to lose. Four more years of impeachment hearings, of course.
There will be more violence if Trump wins, for a couple of reasons. There will be more violence from the left, which the media will downplay, excuse, minimize, and ignore, but playing up anything they can blame on Trump.
Although it will be mostly ranting.

I think we will just be very, very, sad.
Yes, I think it likely that if Trump wins he will continue to commit impeachable offenses. And if Republicans hold the Senate, they will continue to cover for his criminal activities.
I agree completely. It’s the Democrats fault for continuing to have any level of integrity and respect for democracy. They should be like Trump and just lie and cheat their way to power while demonising any group opposed to them because apparently that’s ok now.
If Trump wins relatively fairly, I think you will basically see a replay of what happened in 2016, but without the total shock that accompanied Trumps first election. Since 2016 the left has come to terms with the fact that a large proportion of the country will accept gross incompetence and corruption provided that the right people are hurt. We will then have another 4 years that will be similar to what we had in the previous 4 only more so. With an emboldened Trump not even bothering to attempt to hide his corruption.
The only way I think you are likely to get mass violence from the left is if there is blatant attempts to fix the election. I’m not talking about an irregularity here and there, but 3rd world level of election fraud, things like the exclusion of Democratic observers from polling sites, the closing of polling stations in urban areas on election day, jailing of political opponents, etc.
If Trump loses, there will be a call to arms on right wing social media rejecting the election results and the coupe against the glorious leader, which will fizzle out, as people realize that a lot more people are willing to call for revolution on the internet, then are willing to be the among the first ones to get it started. There may be a few small scale stand offs, like the Bundys at the Malheur wildlife refuge, but nothing nation threatening.
If it wasn’t for the damn Jews and communists we never would have had Hitler, yet people keep blaming the Nazi’s.
Kinda depends on how, doesn’t it? Wins a massive majority of the popular vote and the electoral college, we of the loyal opposition will sink into despair. Does the OP limit the question to legitimate election, or is the full array of options to be considered?
Il Douche claimed he lost the popular vote last time due to “illegal voters”. In generous wisdom, he did not pursue any legal actions about that. Or, he was utterly full of shit. But suppose he did, suppose he put together some legal horseshit about New York or California’s voting results are illegitimate, and it goes to the Supremes and they say, sure, yeah, that’s right, so he’s like, totally elected.
What, perzackly, are the parameters of the question, here? The restrictions of legitimate election procedure, or the limits of a malignant imagination?
OP is limited to legit elections (so, winning Electoral College but losing popular vote still counts as legit.) Wanted to ask what the reaction of the D’s would be to that. (The behavior of the R’s would be entirely predictable; they’d just be happy like last time.)
Not that it wouldn’t be meaningful to discuss what would happen if Trump suspended elections and became lifelong tyrant by force, but that would turn it into a totally different type of discussion.
You meant YYZ, no? 
You say that last sentence as if that’s not exactly what the Democrats are already doing.
If the shoe fits.
Can one of you guys start a “Left-wing violence incidents” thread? I keep hearing about all this left-wing violence from people, but haven’t really seen any. Perhaps a nice thread so others like me can keep abreast of the terror of left-wing violence that I seem to be missing out on.
thanks!
There have certainly been incidents of violence by left-wing people. Funnily enough though, the people who go on and on about them never seem to notice the far more common violent incidents by non-left-wing people.
