The precedent for peaceful transition of power was set by John Adams and any deviation from it would be treasonous and basically be a coup.

I would bet shenanigans like this would be possible with Trump, given he could dismiss election results as fake news and the majority of his followers would support him...because they aren't the biggest fans or beneficiaries of democracy to begin with And they've been proven to go along with false narratives when it politically suits them (seth rich, benghazi, acorn, planned parenthood videos). And we have been steadily moving away from democracy and toward authoritarian capitalism for awhile now so it would just take a watershed moment....


You have to wonder how Trump will rationalize his loss in 2020. I'm hoping it's just the fake news talking point, and not the "election was rigged" talking point.

We're in a weird spot as a country when the president is calling any news outlet that critiques him "fake news". There's way too many idiots in our population.

I'm in WV and I'm white, the crazy Trump supporters will think I'm on their side.

Good. Take as many out as possible before they realize you aren't.

The left needs to arm itself because Trump is going to start a civil war.

He would be literally grabbed, handcuffed and removed from the premises after the day he stopped being the president.
Theoretically arrested with a court date, but most likely this wouldnt happen and he would be set free and go home.
