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.

    all of the craziest Trump supporters were thrown in prison after January 6.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
