I just left the very conservative forum that I visit

The general attitude is that they can't wait for the party to begin with the landslide victory for Trump that they are anticipating. They cannot imagine a situation where Trump could possibly lose.

Hopefully, by midnight, they will be crying in their beer.

They never go outside of their conservative community, they are reinforced by the right-wing propaganda and they shut out any reality that tries to slip in. The really believe that they are a vast majority of patriotic Americans. They are going to be very willing to accept that the election was stolen. There is no way to predict whether they will just sulk or try to break bad.

If they really think he's going to win a landslide, then can you just imagine how much they will be whining tomorrow how they think the election was rigged?

He thought Trump was going to be declared the winner by now and he was sorry he DIDN'T vote!! Several others admitted the turnout in person was much higher than they expected. The people the knew voted early in person, they thought all the libs voted by mail and were wondering where the people all come from. YEAH

I really feel sorry for them. They're going to get a taste of their own medicine and it won’t be sweet.

Thanks for the update, Chainfire.

your sympathy would evaporate. It is difficult to imagine how hateful they are.

One really interesting aspect about this particular group is how many of them are police or are retired police.
