I hate to make this as my first thread

but I think people should stock up on food before the election, atleast a few days worth. Im far from a conspiracy nut but I do think some of these Trump supporters may become unhinged when the annoying orange loses.

... will be in their mom's basement, pounding their keyboards - same as always.

However, if you're addicted to Cheetos, you might want to stock-up before Tuesday. I imagine they'll be flying off the shelves.

yeah, there's going to be a few loose cannons out there but generally it's a good idea to have at least a 1-2 weeks supply of water, food for any natural event like earthquakes, etc.
Other than that, I'm not going worry about those folks who will most likely just continue to watch their reality shows, sit on their respective couches and protest way too much!

so if they throw temper tantrums and damage where they live, that is their problem.

I think most of us will be fine.

Brown shirts running amok, playing vigilante with their semi-automatic weapons and believing the law is behind them.

and I remember just after 9-11 a big crowd gathered a few miles from me and marched to a mosque and wanted to do something. Police broke them up. So it can happen anywhere.

it's like he's given all those Brown shirts license to do exactly that, express their various hatreds/grievances through various tragic events throughout the country. Racist incidents seem to be on the rise since "he" (can't type that name) proclaimed his dark orifice to be a candidate for president. I wouldn't be surprised if sexual assaults are on the rise as well. GOTV!!!!

and will go to work the next day and do that. I'm not too worried about roving mobs myself - it looks fascinating in the end-times dystopian future novels and movies, but most people don't have time for that kind of nonsense.
