US President Joe Biden has said he is not confident there will be a peaceful transition of power if Donald Trump loses the presidential election in November.
"[Trump] means what he says, we don’t take him seriously. He means it, all this stuff about ‘if we lose it will be a bloodbath’.”
Mr Trump’s comment that it would “be a bloodbath for the country” if he loses the election, made as he was talking about the auto industry in March, triggered a wave of criticism.
The Trump campaign, however, said the comment was specifically about the auto industry and had been deliberately taken out of context. It sent a fundraising email which said Trump’s political opponents and others had been “viciously” misquoting him.
Granted, I’m not president of anything at all, but I’m very confident that there will NOT be a peaceful transition if Trump loses.
Do you anticipate any violence if he wins?
If he wins, it’s open season on any and all political opponents, and any critics, really. So yes.
If he loses, it’ll be “rigged,” and they’ll try another 1/6. My prediction is they’ll try State Capitols this time around…
So, looks like violence is back on the menu, boys.
Yes, are you familiar with the fascist playbook? It’s not the first, second, or even third time this has happened in history and you can bet the people in charge know their history. First it’s the disabled, mentally ill, and queer people. Then the out crowd just keeps expanding until the whole thing collapses but a lot of people die along the way.
I am unapologetically anti-authoritarian in every way. I fear Democrats almost as much as I fear Republicans. Yes I know the playbook. Everybody has somebody they want to disenfranchise.
For sure both sides are exactly the same. I suffer from amnesia can you help me by reminding me of all those Democrat-run violent insurrections?
Yeah that’s what I said. Tool.
Another amnesia issue I’m having: can you remind me which “vermin” the Democratic nominee has vowed to “exterminate”? And also I forgot about the times she called for the use of violence. Can you jog my memory on that as well?
I would expect nationwide marches and protests but absolutely not an organized coup attempt like j6
