Trump has been telling us this for weeks now.
If they lose, they will destroy as much as possible on the way out.
They can't let the "libs" win.

(16,189 posts)The right wingers arent excusing him for being young. They are praising him for self defense.
And they are busy being character assassins for his victims.

(21,966 posts)If Biden wins, the Republican Party might just go full-on armed insurrectionist, at least in the short term. The rank and file has been working towards this for years, with their liberal hunting licenses, the NRA excusing mass shooters, etc. Now the partys media figures are leaning into it, and the elected leadership will likely follow. Theyve certainly shown no interest in restraining it so far.
I posted earlier that the If Biden wins there will be violence rhetoric is starting to sound less like a warning to voters and more like a threat.

I don't know if this is going to work-- I don't see how it can. Are people so stupid they don't think, huh, if there's all these problems NOW, why wouldn't we blame the man who is president NOW?
But his 35% are that stupid, and that mean.
Can't win with just then.
