If Trump loses: We'll be at the White House — 'in arms'

SELMA, N.C. (AP) — Donald Trump's legions of followers say they're growing confident of victory — and many say they won't accept defeat.

"We're going to win. And if we don't win and Hillary wins, I think we're going to take over the government," said Nancy Fraize, 51, who works as a cleaning lady in Manchester, New Hampshire. "I think personally we'll all be at the White House sitting on the front lawn. In arms."

Her view of the possible outcome and aftermath are hardly rare. Poll numbers show an uncertain race and renewed scrutiny of Hillary Clinton's emails just before Election Day, and a survey last month showed only one-third of Republicans saying they have confidence the votes will be counted fairly.

The blend of confidence in Trump and distrust of those in power was reflected again and again in more than

Riiiiight, a cleaning lady in New Hampshire is going to take off from work to sit on the front lawn at the White House when Trump loses... Have a feeling she'll be grumpy but heading to her job like every other Wednesday.

...be arrested on the way, if not when they get there. And the military has them out gunned. You remember the military? These asshats haven't been in Iraq, most military members have. Who would you bet on?

As for Civil war.... A Civil War means that half the citizens mobilizes. I doubt that every Trump voter is going to be up in arms here and leaving their jobs to make war on everyone else. What are they going to shoot up? What territory are they going to take? The post office? State governments? What if State governments say "take the offices, we'll help people on-line..."? What, exactly, is their plan for conquering the U.S.A. and how do they overcome everyone and anyone who doesn't want their homes and streets and businesses and hospitals shot up or burned to the ground?

So, no, I don't think it will seriously come to that. Lone nuts, yes. A small group of lone nuts, yes. A big army? Hard to mobilize. Hard to maintain. And if they don't get a quick victory...can they wait it out through December and January in DC? Maybe if the Trump hotel takes them in. I'm sure it will give them a discount.

but, that really isn't the point.

Trump voters are a more virulent extension of the people who have run around the last 7 years screaming about BHO.

The people who ran around screaming about BHO were a more virulent form of the assholes who ran around in the 90s at the start of the Rush revolution.

The Rush revolution was more virulent form of the righteous right from the 80s.

The righteous right of the 80s was a more virulent form of prior republicanism.

Get the trend?

The question is which direction... Trump direction or Paul Ryan direction. I suspect more towards Paul Ryan.

The Republicans only hope is to be more inclusive... and normal.

you are a good dude, so I don't mean to come across to you.

But, this is scorpion and frog stuff.

They have only gotten worse over the course of my adult life.

They have incrementally moved closer and closer to the line and frankly, Trump has enabled them to got right up to the line.

There are people literally standing outside of polls open carrying.

Think about that.

There is absolutely ZERO impetus for them to "be more inclusive and normal."

The have only increasingly gotten less inclusive and normal.

Christ, they are saying they will not allow another SC appointment and that they are going to investigate Hillary for years and impeach and she hasn't even gotten elected.

Again, I seriously don't mean to come across to you.

But, the tea leaves are pretty fucking clear that if Hillary wins it is going to even worse than it has been to this point.

AND, if we win the senate and alter the filibuster, we are going to see $hit even never imagined in this country, for a fact.

thought the old ones would die off, but they just procreated and spawned more. Trump might continue, or there might be a new similar Trump but violent. I just don't believe this force will be absorbed/assimilated after the election when Hillary wins. My fear is lone wolfs/groups acting out after the election. They are far better organized now than way back and their armament seems endless. All in all, it's a bad recipe.

Because you know, despite being 50, what you mentioned happened before I was born for the most part, all it before I hit elementary school.

I also missed the part where the FBI went rogue and acted in a manner to severely impact a presidential election at the 24th hour.

The point was that it wasn't going to be entertaining and that we are very likely about to see this kind of $hit.

And, them announcing it doesn't mean jack.

In fact, it is part of why this is so very ominous.

They are saying it, and this country isn't even reacting to it, much less reacting forcefully against it.

Black churches being blown up with innocent little children inside, the assassinations of Black leaders like MLK, Malcom X, Medger Evers and even multi-cultural freedom marchers who came form all over the country to stand with them in Alabama and elsewhere. The beatings by police and others of people who simply wanted to vote, the dogs, water cannons - I remember all of it.

Nothing those teabillies can do now will ever match the violence against our own citizens by, not only some of their fellow Americans, but the by the authorities themselves as well.

No, I don't find violence against progressives entertaining in the slightest.

I DO find their ultimate defeat and humiliation both righteous, satisfying and yes...amusing.

The scale of their violence will be as nothing compared to the past. Most will simply return to their shitty jobs and TV sets to watch Fox News if they're retired.

I doubt the country is or will ignore any of this and believe those in a position to do so will put a swift end to it.

Any run of the mill SWAT team will easily handle these guys. And if any of them do show up armed at the White House then a SS tactical team will quickly turn them dead.

errr -- was that Trump wine? Proud of all my DUers, who resoundingly recognize nitwit blunder when they see it. Or as we say in Texas, all hat and no cattle.

"satire." He was on MSNBC saying "I challenge you to find a working musket." I'll claim any money he puts on that challenge. I know several folks w/ working muskets. Black powder firearms are a thriving "hobby."

What else would you expect. These people have been inundated with hatred from Lindbaugh, Hannity the Tea Party and FOX news long enough for them to believe that America has gone to hell, yet not a single one of these simpletons has had Obama march into his/her house and confiscate their anti tank gun. Many of them, having been cursed with poor health, can now not be denied coverage for pre- existing conditions ( oh, the sacrilege!), employment has gone nowhere but up since the last GOP administration tried single handedly to destroy the country with a financial meltdown that gave the rich more money. And they say it's bad now? They need to get their heads out of their asses and wake up.
No, you idiots, you still have your guns, you more than likely have a job, and your streets are still being plowed and repaired. You DONT have it bad at all, compared to what the Republicans left us with in 2008.
Honestly, if you are that stupid and that agitated, maybe you should do the rest of us a favor and go find another country to live in. I believe in America and the progress that's been made by Democrats- 1) giving women the right to vote, 2) giving African Americans the right to vote, 3) creating Social Security, 4) ending segregation, 5) passing the Civil Rights act 6) creating Medicare 7) passing the Clean Water Act. To quote Lawrence O'Donnell, " What did Republicans do? They opposed every one of those acts. So when you try to hurl that label at my feet " Liberal" as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work because I will pick up that label and wear it as a BADGE OF HONOR".
Republicans, go fuck yourself. You don't know what despair is. Try living in Syria for a while.

It's surprising that I have to remind them that Trump's supporters aren't going anywhere, and we're in for a bumpy ride for a long time to come.

67. But there's not going to be a revolution...
Sat Nov 5, 2016, 12:28 PM
Nov 2016

Some of these guys look scary with their multicam uniforms and AR-15s and black hoodies but I don't see indications that any of these guys are willing to die for a cause or would be willing to endure the type of low-level discomfort and physical misery that accompanies any type of revolution. Nor do I see any serious organizaiton or leadership.

I recently read the MJ article about a miltia group performing border operations...it's over 20pp long, great read, but for the life of me I don't understand what these guys are so angry about and I don't think they know either...also their leader was described as an overweight ex-Marine, a smokaholic, who spent most of the time in an air-conditioned trailer watching war movies.

Many of these guys are on disabilty, pensions, social security...the youth of this nation are marching in the opposite direction politically...I think there will isolated acts of violence...some tragically may even be spectacular...but I don't see any revolution coming.

What does worry me, however, especially with recent revelations, is the corruption of professional government organzations. ALso the article describes some Border Patrol Agents as cheering those guys on, rather than giving them a professional cold shoulder.
