  I’m more worried about what the dems would do if Trump happens to win. I think the violence is worse in that scenario.

    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.

    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?!

    What are you taking about? Dems would file lawsuits and use legal means to contest anything they think was illegal.

      I think they would do that too, yes.

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

      They started a war because their side didn’t win an election. That’s as violent as you can get.

  I didn’t think liberals would get violent about the election outcome. No one seemed passionate about her, let alone fanatical enough to riot. The vast majority who voted for her did so because they disliked Trump not because they liked her ever fluctuating policies or her in general.

    Good points. I think you’re right!
