If Trump wins, there will be "massive" Democratic unrest...

Gee... isn't it funny how the narrative is that the right is fueling the violence...

Everyone from Hillary to the entire MSM is fomenting a rebellion. I can only imagine all the leaking, "anonymous sources", and other sabotaging that will go on within the career employee cadre of the federal government after Trump wins again. You think it's bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet.

As a tangent, a lot of conservatives make gun owners look bad. Reading the comments to that article gave me a headache. Lots of firearm experts there talking about, for example, how you need birdshot, not buckshot, if you want to put down rioters.

So do you think the "violence" will be in any non-democrat cities? 

I think even most of the democrat run cities are getting pretty sick of this.  Most will be actively suppressing any violence.  I do have concerns about small numbers of fanatics trying to do damage to infrastructure stuff similar to the people that are not starting grass fires.

Blaming democrat unrest on Trump is like blaming domestic abuse on the victim.

IMO, articles like these are an implied threat.  There are times I might be worried about that, but after the last 6 months I can't imagine it working.

It's gotten to the level that it is no longer "implied". They are straight up telling us that they will riot if Trump is reelected.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I think you are right. 

At this point, I don't think it will affect any voters.  I am not sure if it ever would.

It only takes a small group to provoke some nasty violence.  It seems like we have enough of the violent minority to do just that here.

Oh, it's affecting voters...

I hope that shows up in election results.  Even solid blue/red states don't always have a huge % between the two sides.  If 10% of the voters decide to switch, it might be some of those local politicians learn to regret embracing the mob.

It's all talk.  And Canadia doesn't want them.  They're picky, got standards.

At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

Their current PM says otherwise.
