  The truth is that Kamala will concede if she loses. Thus no violence. Trump however will never concede.

    There is no requirement to concede; it’s nothing more than a tradition. Trump conceding or not conceding won’t change who wins the election.

    I have seen plenty of people on Lemmy that said they would revolt if Trump wins. I don’t for a minute think it would be peaceful, regardless of if she concedes or not.

    But I think she’ll win, so we don’t really have to worry about it.

      Fair enough, people who act tough online is bipartisan. There are always people who say things.

      If my side doesn’t win I’m moving out of the US…

      Usually all talk and no action.

      I also hope that everything is peaceful.

        I wish those people would move. I also wish each party had a better candidate. I am tired of each side voting against another rather than for a person.

  That’s dumb. Democrats should revolt against Trump but only one side of this card has enough crazies to actually do something about it is they lose. Dems are too busy hand wringing to out perform the wingnuts violence.

    Democrats should revolt against Trump

    So are you saying there “should” be violence if Trump wins? You advocate that? What?!

  Agreed. The Democrats have always been a much more violent group.
