A question for the americans on this forum. If Trump loses and given he has been inciting his followers to violence how likely, do you think, are riots etc after the presidential election? Some of his followers do not seem terribly rational.

Slaughtering unarmed black people is a bit different from taking on white supremacists and religious nutters armed with assault rifles and machine guns. Some of trump's supporters do not seem to be terribly rational ansd if trump shows no resspect for the rule of law and the constitution why would his supporters?.

There is a lot of talk from the Idiot Right about how they are going to go take the country back is The D is beat in the election. I hope that it proves to be all bluster. The problem is that many of these folks don't seem to really have the ability to look at the long-term probabilities of any action they might take.

I cant see it. All storm in a tea cup and pure entertainment.
If they thought Trump was a threat he'd have been done for incitement already.
So far though its been an extremely cynical election, and to my eyes, is this the only way to get a female president? I dont believe she's had to argue anything important yet. She just seems to be rebutting his bad behaviour, he hasnt even got pilicies of arguable substance........ .. this will be the easiest election for any democrat to win.
Or i could be wrong and the US is going to plunge into civil war.

That was well exploited by the mess media.
Those of us who value our natural, civil and Constitutional Right have done quite well without violence.
It is slanderous to say otherwise.

It's things like that also encouraging his supporters to beat up hecklers and also his stating he will not accept the result of the election - unless he wins that prompted my question. Maybe he's just joking but he does seem to have a lot of supporters who are basket cases.

You come up with this Video where in no way he incites violence. It has nothing to do with his acceptance of the election.
What is that saying?
much ado about nothing
I must be clear, I am no fan of the Don, I could care if it is him or the woman who puts the final nail in the Constitution.

It's scary to think that Trump is even in the running. However, as things are it looks like he's pretty much conceding defeat as he's already making excuses for his losing by making claims that the election was rigged against him.

I have been watching the campaigns pretty attentively and I have heard no such threat, from Trump or anyone else. In fact, such incitement might be a punishable crime in itself.

Really?
There are numerous recorded events where he told people in the audience to commit violent acts on "non supporters" And a couple of times he promised to pay the legal costs of those who did.
That sounds like inciting violence to me.

I'm getting is "A Plug-In is Needed..." so I can't comment on the video. A plug-in is what I do with my shaver every morning, but I don't think that's what they mean.
HOWEVER, almost everything Trump says is unworthy of a candidate for ANY post. That's why he is unlikely to win the election, barring some last-minute surprise. But encouraging his moron supporters to riot, which would almost certainly result in their arrest, that I doubt that he is advocating.

You may be assuming too much of him. He does not appear to actually give much thought to what comes out of his mouth.

Fox News made the claim that the FBI were investigating her & planning to indict her if / when she got elected. The next day they admitted that it was an outright lie. However, it is an old technique of planting doubt in people's minds. Rather like stating that someone was being investigated by the Police of accusations of Child Abuse, even though it were later announced that the accusations were found to be false, there would always follow the claims of "No smoke without fire", despite the fact that Police HAVE to investigate any such claims. The problem is that mud sticks, and even an unfounded allegation can ruin someone's life. Most people, I imagine, will agree that Trump is an odious madman, who is a danger to the security of the world if ever he were to be elected, but both sides seem to be guilty of mud slinging instead of keeping to the real issues. But that's politics for you.

As to violence: There was an example of a man wearing a Trump pin on his short and was standing outside the early voting places displaying a openly carried handgun on his hip. When asked, he replied that he was "overseeing the election process."

Let me put it this way, gmc: A student of mine announced to the class that "We have the right to overthrow the government if we think it's a tyranny!" I had to shut him up with, "The "we" you are referring to is the MAJORITY of your fellow citizens."

That's why you have two elected houses, one to balance the power of the other and an elected executive in the president whose power is constrained by the two elected houses. Why does he or you (if you do that is) think you have a tyrannical government when you the people elect it? On a side note if trump gets elected you have a president who will probably want to make his office superior to the senate and congress if he does then you might find put what tyranny is like. If he can't it will be because your political system works.

To load a "musket", you locked the hammer back so that it would not spark while you were loading powder and shot.
When I was young, I became very adept and loading and firing (accurately) an old muzzle loading flintlock my uncle owned.
Even once took down a wild Hog with it. (two shots)
I did, once, fail to lock the hammer, and singed my eyebrows. A mistake very few people make twice.

I never shot a flintlock, but I know it makes sense.
I shoot cap and ball. Often regretted not buying a flintlock.
But then again, I am very fond of my eyebrows.
