Trump supporters are already talking about what they might do if he doesn't win extremism experts are worried
As both national and state-level polling reveal growing support for Joe Bidens bid to make Donald Trump a one-term president, Trump and his allies have begun framing the stakes of Novembers election in increasingly apocalyptic terms and rejecting the idea that a Democrat could legitimately win.
Thirty-six of the 45 men who have shouldered the burden of the American presidency have done so by way of a peaceful transfer of power from a living predecessor. Of those 36, nine have done so after failing to secure a second four-year term.
But even by the hardball standards of American presidential politics, Trumps reelection bid stands out in history as the sole example of an incumbent president who is pushing his supporters to view a loss as the end of the republic, rather than the end of his political career.
This unprecedented strategy is raising concerns among experts on extremism and authoritarianism, and even veterans of Republican politics who say it is likely to result in violence should Trump lose in November.

(11,674 posts)Those of us who were stunned and suspicious decided to accept the results. An unfortunate consequence of the US system of presidential election. We didnt like it but we moved on. Now these assholes are threatening revolution as they realize that this time it wont just be the popular vote that rejects trump, hes going to lose the electoral vote. And the margin will be much greater this time, and theyll still whine that its not fair.
