Hey Hillary supporters — Do Not Count Your Chickens Before They Are Hatched.
I am a fervent supporter of Ms. Hillary Clinton. I am also a hand-wringing/pants sh__ing Democrat at election time.
A lot has been said lately in the press, along with polling numbers that reflect the almost certainty of a Hillary Clinton victory. Being the hand-wringing Democrat I am, I am cautiously optimistic about a HRC victory. But do not discount the people that support tRump. There may be more people willing to vote for him than polls predict. I have some healthy skepticism about the veracity of the answers given by the people polled. That may also be due to the a fore mentioned hands-wringing pants, sh__ing Democrat in me.
That being said my next major concern is after the election. I work in an area that is heavily armed and more than a bit “Red Neck”. Last night my wife and I were discussing the aftermath of the election, and both of us find the discussion of voter fraud to be a ploy because the tRump camp knows he is losing “bigly”. Unfortunately tRumps supporters find his claims to be perfectly legitimate. I work with a tRump supporter that believes everything tRump says. All of tRumps statements regarding the veracity of this election play directly to the beliefs of (I believe) a lot of his supporters about the (imagined) illegitimacy of this election.
My wife said she was no longer afraid of a tRump victory, she was more scared of what will happen with his supporters after the election. She was especially afraid of a person I work with that is a tRump supporter. He is heavily armed and knows I am a HRC supporter.
My wife is not a reactionary person. She thinks I am waaaaay too obsessed with the election (she is probably right). My fear is based on history. I am deathly afraid of a tRump victory as I feel it spells doom for minorities, and liberals. When Bill Maher asks tRump’s campaign manager (even jokingly) to keep him out of Guantanamo Bay after a tRump win, scares me to no end. When a nationally known TV personality has to ask tRump’s campaign manager to spare him from Guantanamo you have to know something is not right.
Is my wife's fear of me being shot (after a hopefully HRC landslide) unfounded? I hope so.
What will the tRump supporters do on November 9th? If the answer is revolution than how do they think they will take the U.S. military? I am assuming (yeah I know about assuming thanks for the tips) that the U.S. military will back the democratically elected President. That being said how do I protect myself from this crazy person? I know saying he is crazy is playing into the hands of the tRump supporters, but what do I do? I am afraid for my life.
After all of that, how do we stop the second Civil War? I am willing to give my life to stop these fascist supporters of all things Dictatorial. Are you? If your answer is no, what about in 2020 when the Republicons run a tRump that is much more palatable to the electorate and not a complete nincompoop then the one currently running? Will you be willing then?
