    Trump Warns America Will Burn if Republicans Lose This Election

    That’s not a warning, it’s a threat.

    Last election he said if he wasn’t elected then we would be at war with Iran, gas prices would skyrocket, groceries would be unaffordable, and masked police would be patrolling the streets.

    He literally projected exactly what he ended up doing, as is tradition.

    Two political parties are supposed to work together for the benefit of everyone, the second a politician tries to divide the country they need to be jailed, or at the very least removed from politics. There is no place for this toxicity in a prosperous country.

    Trump warns…

    “If Obama wins, the country will burn and be lost to communism” Obama serves two terms in a row, no burning and still waiting for “communism”

    “If Biden wins, the country will burn and be lost to communism” Biden wins, still no burning (except Jan.6) or “communism”

    “If Kamala wins the country will burn and be lost to communism” Trump wins and we watch him burn and loot the country in 4K HDR 360fps as fascism rolls in

    Do republicuck magatards ever learn?

      These morons are still stuck on its Adam and Eve not Adam and Steeve!

      Honesty I used to think Republicans just have different priorities, but ever since W I’ve come to understand they aren’t noble savages… They are just extremely stupid and hateful people.

      Why do you think the Democrats are any different?

      “If Biden wins, we’ll get higher minimum wage”

      “If Obama wins, we’ll get universal healthcare!”

      “If Clinton wins, we’ll get universal healthcare!”

    This is fucking insane. I don’t think the POTUS should be threatening every single citizen of the country like that.

    I also don’t think a rapist, pedophile, conman, felon, grifter, old ass pudding brain should be POTUS.

    Globalist left-wing have treasonously imported millions and millions of third world migrants who are totally incompatible with the West, and they are incompatible with Western values. They despise everything about France, and they’re destroying that country, and we’re not going to let that happen to this country,” Trump said during his speech. Despite interruptions by protesters, the crowd broke into applause at Trump’s words.

    Which is ridiculous mainly because:

    1. Rioting has always been France’s national past time, even when they stormed the Bastille last weekend, that’s tradition at this point.

    2. Republicans want everyone to forget they’ve spent the last 25 years shitting on France already. How is it burning down now if it’s been burnt down for a generation? No one has talked more shit about France than American conservatives… Now they suddenly love France?

      “Yes me lord, you deserve 1/3 of our grain and our women me lord. I only live to serve.” These types have been around a long time, at least as long as religion took on the form of demigods’ blessings for loyalty, but probably much longer. It’s ironic that it’s the people who grandstand about their guns being taken away by liberals but do nothing in the face of actual tyranny, but I think deep down we always knew that. They would even give up their guns to the right conman, or really just anyone who promised to also take the guns of those who look different than them (if they thought they had them).

    Probably because that asshat Vought is laying plans to deny Democrats a win. And like his affiliate said, it will be bloodless if the Democrats allow it.

    Voting asshat conservatives out means Vought just says “no” and then stuff may get very spicy.

      Vought is the epitome of the hated “deep state”. The guy is a lifelong bureaucract pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Most Americans don’t even know OMB exists.

    Peaceful protest won’t stop them from staying in power. We, as a people, have had all the warning for what’s coming, and yet I don’t know of anyone suggesting a realistic, practical plan to combat the theft of power that’s going to take place.

    Any Federal politician who actually cares should be giving public statements about what responses will occur if election results are denied at various levels, should be inviting international observation, should be responding to voter expungement, should prepare responses in case of ICE intervention at polling places, etc.

    And everyday people… we should be like the French: angry, motivated, and ready to take the kids gloves off. People should be prepared to be arrested, prepared to go on strike, and prepared to be disruptive.

    If any offices are stolen, there should be fires and barricades.

      Republicans don’t need to “seize power”, nor do they want to (in my opinion).

      Democrats will win, the Republicans count on it. They’re a tag team. One is the heel, the other is the face.

      Answer me this… if the Democrats are truly “the good guys” why can’t they ever roll back Republican changes? Every term, they can’t manage to reverse the vast majority of Republican tax cuts (for one example).

      Amazon, Tesla, JP Morgan, et al always coincidentally gets what they want.

      Our political system is fundamentally deceptive and has been corporate owned for decades.

      Re the French, they are in a country that’s smaller than one US state with four times the population density. Getting thousands together is much, much more difficult, and it won’t happen in most of the country, just key cities (like NYC and LA).

      All of this talk of revolution is what the Democrats are for. They’re a release valve. The Republicans won’t seize power and bite the hand that feeds them, there’s enough money for bOtH sIdEs to get rich, win or lose, they both get a billion dollars an election.

      They won’t get that money so easily if there are no elections. It’s a massive money laundering scheme, and they don’t even have to hide it.

      We’ll see in a couple weeks.

        There’s no need to riot in some rural shithole with 30 people. The big cities are all that matters, that’s where the money is, where it hurts. That is not an excuse not to riot.

        I get it, it’s harder to meet up for a big riot in NYC, when living in bumfuck nowhere, but the people in those dense areas should already be more than enough, if they commit. The ones in the nowheres of the country can show their dissent other ways, still, or find a closer riot nearby.

    If it must burn to be renewed then it must burn. No different than a sick redwood. I don’t think it’ll burn or it quite needs to, but it needs to be renewed even if it takes burning to do it

      Agreed. People need to accept that the nation must fall before we, as people, can rise again. I do not know what the big deal is with moving on from something that isn’t working for anyone. It isn’t working for anyone except a handful of people and the entire world is so exhausted of the US.

      What’s even more shocking to me is that we have not yet even come to terms with the reality that we are four distinct regions and each region is preventing the other from succeeding in their own way. Northeast, Texas through Florida, the west and the mid-west. It’s beyond obvious we are four different countries. Most land masses this size have much smaller countries and ours is simply unmanageable.

      It will never recover. It can only become something else.

        I don’t think burning is inherently necessary, that it means the complete destruction of the country, or that splitting is wise. I’m in the camp of we need to prosecute and repair what’s broken.
