Could Trump supporters become violent if they lose?

I was previously unaware of US cities being destroyed by anti trumpsters. You think at least Fox News would have picked up on this. Please tell.....

Even if it was on every news station you would still deny it.

I think you are exaggerating. There has been very little violence. Unless you are trying to conflate the riots from the police shootings to the election.

I am talking about the riots outside Trump events where police cars were destroyed along with a lot of private property.

I wish it would make it on ANY station. Even FAUX news (sadly management there is focused on buggering the female hosts NTTAWWT)

You didn't see the destruction caused by Trump protestors outside the Trump events?

Willingly blind. Good for you.

Eh? Where? The only thing close was San Jose and I think it was more people stealing and burning Trump hats and signs. Inappropriate and unlawful but not necessarily violent.

Nope. Quoted reference said ALL violence came from Hillary supporters / the Left. All I have to do is show a single instance of violence from a Trump supporter / the Right and the OP is lying, ignorant, or biased. I did just that.

Oh ya. I forgot about the black guy that took exception to the racist liberals that interrupted Trump's rally. Thanks.

Don't get upset because you got caught flaming and were shown to be wrong.

You are ignoring the inference of his statement. You can do that. It's your right. The thread is about the possibility of violence from the right if Trump wins. I think the opposite is a larger threat. It has everything to do with the thread.

No, Ikari is quite correct. If one says (as was mentioned) that "ALL violence comes from the Left" all I have to do is show one instance of violence stemming from the Right. I did that. Nice try.

Requoting this because of its validity:
Ikari said:
And it's completely inconsequential, having nothing to do with the argument. Since what was being responded to was the claim that ALL violence this cycle came from the left, the only thing necessary to show that this statement is false is one (1) example of violence from the right.

So you can have your little "examples of the opposite", but is has zero bearing on the arguments being made and serve as nothing more than deflection. Only one case of violence from the right had to be shown to show that the original statement was false, and that was what was done. It should by no means be construed as a complete list of incidents of violence from the right nor should it be taken as an argument claiming no violence came from the left.

Inconsequential statements serve no purpose other than deflection.

What is it about Trump supporters that would give you the idea that they would turn violent?

Has there been a situation yet where they attacked somebody without being attacked first?

There was that old guy in a cowboy hat that sucker punched a protestor as he was being escorted out. We probably wouldn't have known about it if wasn't caught on video.

That seemed like a low life, cowardly thing to do, imo.
 
The short answer to your question is yes, since Turnip has convinced them that the only way he can lose is if the election is stolen from him. Given the relative level of education and intelligence from many of Turnip's backers, I think violence is not only possible, it's likely.

I think I'd be more interested to see what happens if Trump actually ends up winning.

Honestly, I think that senario could lead to violence.

That would be violence from the Left, which is more likely. We have already seen plenty of it.

He actually led troops into battle. The battle never happened. Sheas rebellion, the first and last time a president actually led his army in the field. His balls were bigger than his horses.
 
CriticalThought said:
I heard that a healthy majority of Trump supporters believe that if he loses it is because the election is rigged. Then I saw the video of Trump's 2nd Amendment "joke" and now I am wondering. This country has a long history of nonviolent exchanges of power, but this is the first time in my lifetime that I wonder if an election could lead to violence.

Trumps supporters have to go to work everyday. They don't have as much time on their hands as Clinton supporters do.
 
trump supporters are most of the men.... most of the law enforcement people and most of the military and a landslide of the white males

with those supporters what will come is seceding if laws are not corrected
 
I hope they don't take over another bird sanctuary
 
There are going to be riots and/or violence no matter which of these psychopaths win the election. If you haven't figured that out by now you haven't been paying attention.
