And become the CIA’s target-number-one for the trouble. As I’ve said elsewhere, there’s no way our intelligence/defense organizations would allow even a normal, level-headed former President to leave the country and potentially become an intelligence asset to a foreign power, let alone an idiot blowhard like Trump.
No, my point is that both sides are saying stupid shit that could interfere with the election being a peaceful affair. Be it concerns about mail in votes, russia, rioting, spying on peoples campaigns, one side not conceding etc. The point of my post is the irony of how easily most of the left-wing critics of Trump in this thread could have their arguments flipped to be about the Democrats, some of those are perhaps more legitimate talking points than others and some are meant to sound absolutely nuts as they should coming from either side in civilized debate, I for one giggle a bit when I see people saying they're going to march on Washington.

I think it's fair to say that if there was a new wave of violence on November 3rd/4th following the race being called for Trump that its more about Trump than it is about police brutality/George Floyd. It seems to me the violence (not necessarily the protests) has been dying down in most places recently.
Civil War?
From these guys?
Putin khuliyo
Trump will ask for an investigation an then nothing will happen and he'll grumble and leave. People seriously need to get off the internet and find a life.
Trump will leave, but there might be a few of his deluded cultists that might resort to violence.
Why? It would signal that nothing will be done for 4 more years. Those who are waiting for Biden to win and act like a president, won’t be waiting any more. Biden is the last hope for a lot of people to get any reform done or be stuck with nothing, but an agitator for 4 more years.

That’s funny... because at the same time, QAnon is waiting for their lightning strike signal to start killing people. Militias have been caught planning kidnapping of state officials. It seems like a lot of them are standing bye... I’m sure Trump will leave, but the brew he has been stewing, will come to a boil... and he is not a man that can handle it or have the moral integrity to denounce it instantly.

Well this thread is about how smooth it will be, and there is nothing smoother than the problematic party dissapearing. Of course this can cause OTHER problems down the line.
They might accept him for intel, then realise that he didnt remember jackshit from his 4 years of office.
The vast majority of voters haven't even voted yet. The whole "transition of power" question was retarded. It was like asking "Will you commit to losing?"

I don't know. If Trump and the Republicans win, will the Democrats give up peacefully? I mean you have high ranking democrats saying that Biden should consede even if he loses and we saw how long they kept up things after 2016. So on that side we have historical evidence to look at.
See what I did there?
Why do we assume that only 1 side could cause an issue?
Hillary conceded the next day... We know what democrats would do, because they did it once already. While Trump claimed an election he won was rigged and now claims he will not give up peacefully if this one is rigged too. If an election he won was rigged, what are the odds the one he loses is rigged too?
Lied?See what I did there?
Because Trump has been president for over 3 years...Why do we assume that only 1 side could cause an issue?
