The media is saying that Trump will be ahead tomorrow evening and

he will declare himself the winner before the votes are counted. His crazy supporters will also believe he is the winner.
Then if the next day or so later it is taken from them it is going to be like setting off a bomb. I think we are going to see
violence like never before. Trump with his stupid comments has set this up for what he hopes is a war. We have to hope
law enforcement doesn't outright back the SOB. What about the military? We know that SOB Barr will do everything he can
for Trump to steal the election.

They are dusting off the "dead people are voting for Democrats" argument. Saw it on Facebook, ignored it, posted a note about my son's hockey game.

He claims he never said it, which, of course, means he did.

Besides, whatever he says is irrelevant. Not sure why we'd start believing him now.

If we win Florida, Trump's war plan takes a hit, two more punches from Georgia or NC or Arizona will deflate the racist.

Declare victory early and then, as the votes are totaled in the hours or days to come, tell your following that the election was stolen after the fact. He has been laying that groundwork for a year. He probably calculates that he will cause so much strife that a lot of people will be willing to give in to stop the pain.

Think how much of a problem all of the Trump Train rednecks with guns will be willing to cause if their leader tells them that the Socialist are stealing the country.

rather than attacking. This is what I got from MSNBC
Morning Joe. Trump will most likely be ahead tomarrow evening and I have no doubt if he is he will claim he is the winner. His supporters will take that as gospel from Dear Leader. Then say the next day it is taken away look out. Unless it is a clear victory and the media calls it for Biden
we know it will be trouble and Trump will do anything he can to incite violence.

true. In some states an equal amount of Dems and Repugs voted early.

Pennsylvania is the glaring exception. Democrats have a 1M vote advantage

are going to swoop down and attack while we are distracted by all this. Then Ivanka Trump and a horde of cybernetic bigfoots are going to swarm out of a secret cave in Utah. They could sweep across the west unopposed. What if the United States Fish and Wildlife Service side with Trump and the cybernetic bigfoots? Meanwhile the media is saying that Eric Trump has been quietly amassing a legion of trained pigeons that will swoop down and peck out the eyes of all poll watchers. No replacement poll watchers will be available because state and local resources will already be stretched thin fighting off the right leaning Martians and the cybernetic bigfoots. The media is reporting at that point Don Jr will sweep in with a huge army of genetically enhanced proboscis monkeys trained to erase ballots marked for Biden and remark them for Trump.

I mean if we are going to make stuff up lets at least get creative.

tomarrow night he will declare himself winner and his cult
will take that as gospel. I have heard that scenario from pundits on both CNN and MSMBC. They call it a red marage.

Just bc he declares himself a winner doesn't make him one. Our system is not set up that way. They can go explode all they want. We have the national guards in every state that will address that lawlessness. I just hope we get them on camera so that the FBI can investigate these acts of domestic terrorism.

So they can take their white privilege and shove it up their asses.
