Change my mind.
Honestly, I think whatever happens on election night - clear winner, clear loser, or ambiguous haze to be fought in court for weeks (or more likely months) - we're likely to see major rioting in a few cities (I'm sure we can all name them already) and moderate rioting in a whole lot of others.
The only way to prevent this, in my opinion, is a massive turnout of police with crackdown on demonstrations, which will lead to additional problems all its own.
I'm certainly dreading this election for multiple reasons.
A win for Harris/Biden means a major push toward our complete disarmament, especially if there is a Democrat majority in the House and Senate. This would be the scariest thing I can think of for traditional freedom of Americans and signify a wild Slip'n'Slide ride into the pool of socialism to come.
A win for Trump will lead to widespread civil unrest as the leftist antagonizers go all all out in their attempt to bring down our Republic.
Maybe I'm being pessimistic, Lord knows I was wrong in the last election. I totally believed the polls, and of course, the MSM will never give the right accurate readings, not to mention in many areas people are just plain AFRAID to "come out" in public supporting conservative policies. This, to me, says more than anything - the fear of the left. If one has to be afraid one's life and family could be destroyed by the opposition, I think we're already in grave danger.
We've seen the Rule of Law reduced to absolutely nothing in recent months - as it pertains to protection of private property and persons, while seeing the .gov step its bootheel on the throat of freedom to run your business and live your life in what I find to be extremely Constitutionally-dubious mandates and closures.
And we've all just fallen in line, for the most part.
<sigh>
Doom and gloom, I know, I know. I'm just a bit morose this morning, I guess. Scared to see the world my son may have to grow up in.
