My money is on Harris supporters because all of the craziest Trump supporters were thrown in prison after January 6.

There will definitely be public tantrums, plus people doing pointless email campaigns to convince electors to change their votes. I do have to wonder if liberals will do their own Stop the Steal…

Regardless of who wins, the other party is going to call the election illegitimate. The GOP supporters will say the process was tampered with by the DEEP STATE POLL WORKERS or some shit, while the DNC supporters will say that fake news from russia/china/iran twisted the poor dumb American voters' minds into voting wrong.

I think Red MAGA will lose its shit either way and do some clownish Jan 6 style outbursts in both cases because spite and hatred is their brand.

Blue MAGA is about passive-aggressive feelings of superiority and vicariously enjoying war crimes on screens, so at worst I'd expect some pussy hat cringe again.

A lot of them were never prosecuted and never will be. I'd have to google but my wild guess is 25% of them went to trial. A shittton of people attacked the Capitol Building that day.

If Trump loses I expect his hog to commit violence and maybe a murder or two in the aftermath.

It's weird to be that "violence" doesn't have a verb form. Google's AI says...

The verb form of the word "violence" is "violent". The word "violent" was first used as a verb in the early 1500s. It was likely influenced by French, Latin, and Italian words.

And it links to the Oxford English Dictionary.

Edit

To be clear - if there's a murder - the victim won't be a liberal. It will be some random brown person or a woman in a hijab whose mere existence triggered the chud.

violate, if you wanna get etymological

I can't imagine a sentence with it that doesn't imply r*pe.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

it's not a single definition word even in modern usage (rights and privacy can be violated etc) but when specifically done to one's person then yeah, it's a tough sell

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It will be a poll worker that gets murdered. These people are already being stalked.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

They are targets too.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 weeks ago

idk I do be wondering if Trump still doesn't have some suburban boater kulak psychos on hand to do some violence if he loses.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

I think it will beak the coconut’s brains more.

Part of the MAGA chud’s identity is being “rebels” most of them are already mentally preparing for the election to be “rigged”.

But the story Harris voters tell themselves is different.
Trump is Voldemort and they are the brave heroes who together with Kopmala will slay the evil orange man and restore justice and decency to the republic.
If that doesn’t happen the entire narrative they have built around themselves will fall apart.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago

Nah it’s definitely chuds. Harris supporters will just do Hillary part two and it’ll mostly just be fucking annoying and insufferable, and in a lot of cases sad since many of them are okay people who just aren’t politically developed/can’t see past the Democratic Party.

The chuds will have hilarious meltdowns about it though. The crazy Trump supporters have not gone anywhere. They’ve pinned so many of their hopes on him, it’ll be funny to watch some of the worst people on earth throw fits when he loses a second time to a horrible dem candidate, and a black woman no less. And there’s a whole new cast of Trump sycophants this time around, eg Elon, that it’ll be funny to watch react to a Trump loss. Unfortunately in some cases it may become violent, but far from the “civil war” they all say will happen if Trump loses.

it's gonna suck shit either way

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago

Trumps supporters will do more actual things / harm, but Harris supporters will be funnier in the sad kinda way

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Harris voters by a wide margin, they're so hysterical about Trump they've decided to sacrifice all pretenses of progressivism

Trump voters on the otherhand have already gone thru their temper tantrum phase and will more likely go into a depressive "I told you so" phase where they start going full militia or full militia-larping

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

I think Red MAGA's still got some temper tantrum juice in the tank, if not outright refilled.

Tbf, a stiff breeze will make liberals drop pretenses of progressivism.

When trump lost we got the funniest coup attempt ever and really funny cope from them so i think i will go with chuds

I just want to see Code Red MAGA deploy the QAnon priest units to polling places so they can wololo the night away during vote counts again.

Blue Raspberry MAGA is just going to throw a collective hissy fit on social media and blame The Left for 12 years. Somehow the phrase "Bernie bro" will make a comeback. I will end up a volcel for at least a month when I point out to my spouse that it wasn't the Russians. A disgruntled Dem staffer will release the full, unredacted Mueller report, complete with pee tape, after the election is certified.

I'm so sorry 😞

She'll probably hit the liquor store on the 5th and bring home some moonshine, so at least there's that. I don't think we ever even touched the jar from when Hillary ate shit.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

trump losers would be a more dangerous one, with probably more violent right wing reactions.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

Trump supporters specifically bc it would be the second time

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

Both will just claim that the other side "cheated" somehow, the dems will blame Russia, the CHUDs will blame...whichever scapegoat they've been told to hate this week, probably minorities or immigants.
