The Lack of any Real Violence Following the Election
    #27069959 - 12/03/20 12:22 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

In the rhetoric leading up to election day, people were seriously talking about a civil war. Apart from the foiled attack in Philly and a handful of street brawls (mostly in DC), there really hasn't been any real violence. It's especially interesting when we look into what the more extreme Trump-supporters believe. I know a handful of deep Q supporters and many of the Trump-supporter friends that I have genuinely believe that there was widespread corruption by the Dems/Antifa/BLM etc (I have read quite a few articles showing that this is actually reflective of the opinions for many on the right).

So my thought is, if you genuinely believe that the rightful president of the United States has been sabotaged due to Dem/deep state/BLM/Antifa actors, is it not reasonable to then support violence?

I don't mean to egg on violence, of course, but I am genuinely fascinated by the fact that their extreme rhetoric has not led to extreme reactions.

What are your thoughts?

I think people are waiting to see how things play out in court.  :shrug:

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

I concur, it is weird, huh.  It is like a perpetual judgement day that never actually comes. 

I've been hearing the fringe folks talking about civil war since they were freaked out about "Jade Helm" (which never happened) but I'm sure it has been going on waaaay before I actually noticed.  This rhetoric really doesnt feel new, it feels recycled

Talking the talk and walking the walk are two different things, IMO it was the anticipation factor and ppl just spreading the mere thought "there may be violence after/during the election/election day"
I even saw that on CBS news:lol:

Idk :shrug:

Glad there isn't a bunch of violence because of it though !
(already more than what there is)
Too much divisiveness

The court spectacle is just theater, there is zero path to victory for trump in court but it’s doing well as the circus show it was designed to be.

GOP strategists are just using it as a smokescreen to detract from their real goal of an unconstitutional coup through pushing for republican legislators to appoint their own slate of electors, which will ultimately fail even if MI, GA, and PA all sign on, which they’ve claimed they will not. Regardless trump is using the legal battles to hustle donations to pay off his campaign debt.

As for the OP, I’m guessing there will be attempts on Biden’s life. Who else are the trumpies going to go after though? There’s not much need for Biden supporters to be out in the street at this point.

The only side which has proven they are more than willing to resort to violence so far are the BLM & Antifa types. Conservatives generally don't resort to rioting and looting, especially knowing it wouldn't accomplish anything.

Unfortunately the Dem Party leadership openly supported the violence being conducted by BLM & Antifa because in their arrogant shortsightedness they thought they could blame the violence on Donald Trump. This plan backfired, as is evidenced by the fact that the Democrats lost something like 12 House seats, failed to take the Senate and only managed to win the presidency via blatant and widespread election fraud.

Anyway, if Trump manages to make a comeback in the courts, and prove the election fraud you can bet your ass there will be violence. The Left has repeatedly shown they can't tolerate losing, and they definitely won't tolerate having their fake "win" overturned, regardless of the evidence.

The majority of domestic terrorism is completed by white christian men, most of which are very conservative.

Also, I look forward to the tape from Georgia. Let's hope it's not Bubble Tape.

I listened to conservative radio for some comic relief just before the election. Pundits were spewing how the Left had a plan to steal the election in the courts after a Trump victory; now its Trump scratching and clawing in the courts with little evidence....and the same talking heads foment thier disdain for each failed court case. Seriously, lol.

It doesn't matter now anyway.  It won't change the election result. 

There are still a lot of hardcore conservatives, some even on this site, who believe that Trump will remain President.  As long as they have that belief, they aren't going to go apeshit.  Once Biden is sworn in, however, expect to see a lot of those people get angry and take to the streets.

There wasn't violence because Trump didn't win. Had Trump won the election I believe we would have seen a lot of violence, riots and looting.

The title of the thread is "The Lack of any Real Violence Following the Election Results".

This is the way I see it. It's the Super Bowl and the score is 83-3 in the fourth quarter. There are plenty of upset Trump supporters, but only the nuttiest of the most extreme supporters are going to risk the rest of their lives on the underdog at this time.

Trump doesn't care about his supporters. Deep down he loathes them. But he is happy to take their contributions.

You're correct, from their perspective they should at least be doing massive protests in the streets and potentially destruction of property. But guess what?  The VAST majority of conservatives love their oppressors and are too lazy to do anything about it. That includes believing the democratic system you worship is a complete corrupt system without the proper checks and balances.

In their minds, they now live in a total corrupt system without any recourse in the political system, yet they still will just sit home and complain about how bad Biden is while ignoring the fact that nothing has changed from the days under Trump.

I think he means this one:



Let's see if they take this evidence to court and repeat that testimony in front of a judge under oath. If they don't, then it can only be for one reason. They are lying and they know it.

I wouldn't speak too soon. The Trumpers wont accept the reality that their dictator lost. They're threatening Republican senators and Election Officials. The MAGAts are out there screaming "This isn't over!"
