What if the orange menace loses but refuses to concede?

20. I agree with that view

Assuming that it’s a democratic landslide and/or a very clear electoral college vote. If it’s close, then I can see the scenarios described.

My concern in this event is a call to arms. Trumps cultists will believe anything he says and I’m sure there’s a very large number who would take seriously a call to arms. To attack Democrats, to kill the legitimate winner. To take to the streets in New York, California, etc. I would also throw out the thought that he would try to get the military involved.

Paranoid, perhaps. More than a little far fetched. But haven’t these last three years been more than a little far fetched? All of that said, I don’t think we as a nation are prepared to counter this kind of behavior. Indeed, I think many law enforcement, at all levels, would stand behind him.
