    These dumbass crackers have gotten a lot of chuckles out of INTENTIONALLY mispronouncing Kamala’s name. Yet they seem to have no problem with their own made up ghetto ho names, Melania? Russian for Cheap Ivanka? What kind of made up shit is that. And Tiffany has probably given more lap dances and limo blow jobs than all the Kardashians combined. Tiffany Trump is both her porn name and Lindsey Graham’s Secret Service code name.

    Large scale protests will lead to riots.

    Riots lead to Proud Boys taking to the streets.

    The rioters will arm up to fight the Proud Boys.

    Trump declares an open insurrection and sends in the military. God knows what the generals do but we'll have a Constitutional crisis.

    Dems reject the election results. Impeachments begin. President. Vice Presidents. SCOTUS. It becomes a mess. Pelosi drags out the fight until after Jan 20 when she becomes president.

    That last graph has less of a chance of happening, but the rest of it has me genuinely worried.

    That's my fear. That too many people will shrug and keep acting as though this shit is normal. It's probably more than 25 percent -- maybe 35 or 40. They're the frogs in the pot of water that is gradually boiling.

    If the election counting and the court rulings go as you predict, there needs to be a general strike and marches in every town with more than 100 people. Storm town halls, city halls, courthouses and legislative buildings. Bring the entire country to a halt. That won't happen, because people fear losing their jobs, livelihoods and the ability to put food on the table. But if preservation of the democratic process and salvaging a republic of the people, by the people and for the people before it slides into autocracy isn't worth putting yourself on the line for, what is?

    We've basically shrugged and acted as though corporations being in the pocket of politicians is normal. . . That the highest court in the land being an arm of whatever party appoints the most of them is normal. . . That the "beacon of freedom" imprisoning more of its citizens than any other country is normal. . . That a one-night ER charge of $10,000 is normal. . . .That the candidate who gets the most votes LOSING elections is normal.

    The real difference between the US and other countries? We just often have different absurd and unacceptable things that we accept as normal.

    The one thing I have heard during every inauguration in my lifetime until Bush was the seamless and bloodless transition of power every 4 or 8 years. The Christian Bushies began to destroy that myth in 2000. Obama reclaimed the American myth and dream in 2008-9 This election will end that myth forever. Trump will not leave without bloodshed or will be installed as president with bloodshed. The courts which ushered out segregation and brought a measure of equality to this country will now be used to install an insane oligarch in the name of Christ.

    I like to think Trump is just full of “hot air” and he will actually leave gracefully. My “concern”? His $421 million in personal debt ready to meet him once the clock strikes midnight!

    I think his properties would be the targets in a broad societal collapse.

    Rolling strikes? Let's do it - they should have been happening all along.

    Somehow, Mr. Moderator1 is more upset with my posts than yours.

    As poster BTE might say: What a country!

    I am not attempting to be argumentative.
