Assuming Hilary Wins I Still Wonder How We Are Going To Live With The Trump Rabble.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Yogi Berra once said "It ain't over until its over". His quip is true enough except with this election. It probably won't be over like the animosity in the South about the Civil war. A lot of states will go for Trump and some in a big way. And where the states go Hillary there will still be a lot of rabid supporters in those state.

The real issue is how we will live together in the aftermath. The reason I look at this situation again is that now that Trump is "unshackled" and like to explode like Krakatoa with vehement as we close in on the election itself his followers will probably get more rabid.

Then again things may settle down.

1. Good question. It's still hard to see how

people can support Trump in the first place, but they are just as vehement about it as you say they are.

And if Trump-Pence goes on to lose, the deplorables ain't gonna like it much. So we'll probably get the scattered incidents of pseudo-uprising. Some vandalism here, some ethnic, racial, or misogynist propaganda there, and a good dose of far right conspiracy bullshit thrown in for good measure.

Trump's supporters won't want to hear it, but one of the things that makes the country great in the first place is this voting thing, and the rules are that the person with the most votes win. If Hillary Clinton is elected, that means Trump's supporters' candidate lost.

Meanwhile, a President Clinton can appoint a young progressive judge to SCOTUS. She can change to dialogue and move the dial on social, economic, and immigration issues. Trump's supporters can stew and whine, but she can lead. That will shut them up faster than anything.

5. The "Trump rabble" have

always been with us, but until 1980, they were mostly marginalized. Then they began to make steady inroads until 1994 when they made their first monumental step. Newt Gingrich was their standard-bearer and brought large numbers of literal crazies into Congress. Some of those may seem sane in comparison with today's. But it was Gingrich who mainstreamed "mean" and "nasty."

Those RWNJs were emboldened by the Clinton impeachment and in 2000 emerged into the mainstream, aided and abetted by Bush-Cheney policies.

McCain's nomination of Palin in 2008 and the M$M attention received by the so-called "Tea Party" in 2010 ultimately elevated them to the mainstream. With Trump, they have reached their pinnacle of success and it is a very ugly pinnacle.

May it all be downhill from here! Their downfall can't happen soon enough and too many of them are armed these days.

Their words and actions must be seen as wholly unacceptable by the "mainstream" and for the long-term we need to educate their children away from RWNJ evangelical pastors and too much home-schooling which is poorly implemented and monitored. We need to invest in excellent public school systems available to everyone. The best way for that to begin is for Hillary to win in November - and to win overwhelmingly to boot - with Dem majorities at least in the Senate and hopefully even in the House.

While the last may seem far-fetched, it is certainly within the realm of possibility, thanks to Trump and GOPer failure to repudiate him. Be sure to vote D in ALL down-ticket races.

7. We have to crush them

8. It's a cult

they have to be deprogrammed somehow

9. Here's what they will do, I guarantee it

... when Hillary wins they will not graciously accept defeat and vow to do better next time. They will not contemplate on how they backed a dishonest, racist, mysoginistic sexual predator and con man and shot themselves in the foot. They will not seek quality, educated, inspirational candidates next time.

No, we will be subjected to four (then another four) years of endless shrieking that Hillary stole the election, the whole thing was rigged, it's so unfair, everyone knows Trump won, everyone voted for Trump, she will never be their President, etc. etc.

And of course the braying to impeach Hillary for non-existent crimes, fairy tales and urban legends will start up mere seconds after her victory is announced. To which we should only smile and say "Can you say President Kaine, assholes?" But of course they're just squeal like stuck pigs that he'll be impeached too.

As Clinton takes office, they will piss and moan at every single decision she makes, and distort reality to claim her Presidency is a failure, everyone hates her, etc. Same shit they pulled with Obama, such that these sorry assholes will actually claim the "economy really stinks right now but the mainstream media won't tell you that." But meanwhile the economy under Bush was wonderful.

I'm really sick of the non-stop antics and hypocrisy from these "people." It never ends with them. The kind of immature, dishonest filth that Trump attracts can never grow up and accept responsibility for their actions. All their woes are always someone else's fault.

We don't have to live with them. We have to ignore them. Once we're done gloating and rubbing their noses in their own shit, of course.

10. I see a Right-wing civil war with itself

You will have the almost militant Christian evangelicals battling the more mainstream, "normal" Christians. You will have the Trump low-education people fighting the establishment Republicans.

It will be really weird.

11. We have been living with them all along.

They were formally known as Dixiecrats. They are just extra crazy and vicious right now because they understand, on some visceral level, that they close to becoming mathematically inconsequential in national elections. Because of the way Electoral College works, they have always had an inordinate amount of power in our political process relative to their numbers. But that is getting ready to change and they are so mad.

This is the group that gave you slavery, segregation, the KKK, Jim Crow and lynchings. Their more civilized but equally vicious brethren did redlining, voter ID, ect. They have always been violent and scary. they are just ramping up to a really high level of scary right now due to the demographic changes. The good news, if we get through this period, they won't matter nearly as much and we can start ignoring their bullshit and begin to work toward real solutions.
