This election offers a clear cut path our nation will go. Either way, I am convinced violence will break out and revolution as well. More so if Biden does not win, or if he loses in a manner like the 2000 election of Bush v. Gore.

Political leaders on teh left have already talked about not accepting a Trump win, or already saying the election is rigged to prepare people for invalidating results not to their liking. So far, the experiment with universal balloting in several states has turned out to be a total disaster! After a month, one state still cannot untangle the vote to declare a winner!

The sides cannot be further apart and the rank hatred leaves no room for trying to put this nation back together again! The left is going all in on this election. From HIllary, to the impeachmetns, to teh inquisitions of Trumps Judicial appointments, to the never ending hearings on any and everything Trump doies, they are determined to destroy him and all around Him.

This is a time to prepare.

1. Spirituallyi: solidify your relationship with Jesus. Pray for the lost. Pray for your church and hope that times of prayer will be established.

2. Pay down any debt you can. If revolution breaks out (and there is talk among leftist groups that are umbrella organizations for other leftist groups) then the less debt the better.

3. Physically: stockpile food while it is freely available. It is always a good thing to have several weeks supply on hand for emergencies, but in case of riots and unrest, several months is wise! Also given the planet is enduring a grand solar minimum and weather patterns are destroying tens of millions of acres worldwide- it is good to get shelf stable foods built up.

4. For those who believe that it is a God given responsibility to protect your family? arm your self.

I am not one who likes to blather about conspiracy theories or doom and gloom, but after 66 years here on earth and being involved in politics since Nixon, this is the most dangerous time I have seen in America since the civil war.

Where do you get your news? If there is any danger, it comes from the far right groups, not the left. Certainly I can imagine the leftists on the hard using violence if upset by election results; but two factors say that's unlikely.

First Biden is farther ahead of Trump in the swing states where it matters -- farther than Hillary was. There are several reasons for that. One of the most important may be that the Green Party doesn't have a prominent candidate. Jill Stein was key in helping Trump win in 2016 since a lot of ultra-liberals voted for her. If she hadn't been in the contest, they would have voted for Hillary, not because they liked her but because they saw her as less conservative than Trump. Trump's support from the military is also considerably less than it was in 2016 when he won the military vote by a considerable margin. Trump also failed to keep some of his campaign promises. He is now saying he's rescued the car manufacturing industry and talking about how many factories are back up and running -- but they exist mostly in his imagination. He may have tried to bring those jobs back, but he didn't. Nor has he really resurrected to coal jobs; and the oil jobs that got created are now gone again. The number of bankruptcies in farmers is also a factor. A lot of the farmers who voted for him in 2016 plan to vote for him again, I read; but some won't.

Trump's biggest mistake, in my estimation, is that he believed he could win in 2020 with the same voting blocs he had in 2016. He did very little to try to attract people who had voted for Hillary into his camp. He made things too partisan. He attacked too many people in unfortunate ways and unnecessarily too. He already had a reputation of being against blacks and Hispanics. He should have gone out of his way to avoid insulting any black or Hispanic personally. He could have disagreed with them but without the insults. The insults of prominent blacks gave ammo to the Democrats who said, "See, we told you he was a bigot." But Trump thought he could win with the same voters he had in 2016, so he didn't see why he should try to charm anyone else.

The second reason is that groups on the far right are better armed and better organized than on the far left. The far left also tends to dislike guns. The consensus of the American intelligence agencies is that far right groups pose the biggest threat. Some of them don't even really like Trump that much; but Trump wants them to vote for him, so he never called them out. Indeed we see a case now where someone was told to tone down his reports, to talk less about far right groups and to exaggerate the threats from groups like Antifa and BLM. This was an attempt to politicize the intelligence community to serve Trump's political interests. It worked to a certain extent, but it also didn't work since the FBI still issued statements about the dangers coming from far right groups. I feel confident the FBI is monitoring the most extreme people now; and if they try to start a rebellion, arrests would occur quickly. Governors will also likely be prepared to mobilize the National Guard if needed.

There is a potential danger in how quickly mail-in votes are counted. It seems likely that more Republicans will vote in person while more Democrats vote by mail. Thus if the vote is slow, the first results in key swing states could show Trump ahead; but as the mail-in ballots got counted, Biden could pull ahead. Does this explain why Trump keeps warning against fraud? He knows this could happen; and it is almost as if he's trying to encourage people to riot or revolt if early results show him ahead but then put Biden ahead. He can go on Twitter claiming fraud, and some of the far right groups could easily say it's time to take up arms.

I point out again that some of the far right groups don't really like Trump that much. For sure the Neo-Nazis don't see him as being that great since his daughter and son-in-law are Jewish and he favors Israel a lot. Their support for him is for tactical reasons. They'd like to see a race war; and they thought that would be easier if Trump was President and not Hillary. I don't think Trump wants to see a race war with whites setting up a white nationalist government. That's what some extremists want, but I wouldn't say Trump wants it. His mistake was not disavowing them. He wanted white racists to vote for him again so he made vague statements like "There's good people on both sides." He pretended to care about Confederate statues. I think that lost him votes since it made him look like a racist. He continues with this policy by talking about keeping suburbia safe and having the gun-wielding white couple make a video speech for the convention where they talked about the dangers of low income housing in their neighborhoods. Black people see that kind of statement as racist and so do many whites who already live in integrated neighborhoods that are safe.

I think you have fallen for a line. You think you need to stock up on food and own guns. In short, you no longer trust the government to protect you. Why is that? Could it be that the right wants you to believe that, maybe even join them if they try to start a civil war? Could it be that Trump wants you to think that way too -- trusting him and him alone -- to the point where you think democracy is a failure and that you need to take up arms?

I shortened your quote to keep within 10,000 characters.

Well the only poll I will trust is the election. Up until the very end all the major polls had Trump losing to Hillary!

Who is causing violence now? Leftist groups and left leaning mobs! Not right wing groups!

The left has formed an umbrella organization labeled FBT that is an umbrella for over 50 leftist groups to insure a biden win at any cost. They have talked about post election violence should Trump win. this was reported by the Daily Beast as well as other outlets. The Daily Beast can never be accused of any conservative leanings.

The right may be better armed. But the arms they have they commit far less crimes than does the left. Chicago, Detroit are just two cities that come to mind.

With Universal Balloting being done in Democrat states (ballots mailed without being requested) I do expect to see fraud in many areas. there was a study done by Purdue U. showing how the 2016 election had as much as a 6% vote swing to the left due to fraud of various kinds.

Trump had brought close to 750,000 manufacturing jobs back to America. Covid -19 has done much to turn that around.

The election is the first Tuesday of November. It is up to the states to insure that the ballots are sent out in enough time to insure they can be returned and counted by election day. I worked for the USPS for 36 years. They have never had election mail delayed because of the Service itself. And they won't this time either. If people do not return their ballots in a timely manner- too bad, they shouldn't count. there is also personal responsibility in voting. the only ballots than can be counted late in most states and in federal election by law are absentee ballots!

the left has been calling Trump racist since He walk down the escalator. He has garnered more minority votes in 2016 than most other republican have.

People perceive Trump as bad because the socialist politicians have been no stop in condemning him. Most of the media is also very left wing by their own admission and craft their stories in a very condemning or belittling way against Trump.

Trump has kept more of his campaign promises than any other president. He has been building the wall, renegotiated lousy trade deals, brought unemployment down to near record levels prior to the covid outbreak, has been bringing our troops home, rebuilt a depleted military.

It is the left that is talking about civil war and revolution. they have been doing that since Trump took office. The only line that one is fallen for is the fact the left has spent over 3 years in a bloodless coup attempt.

You can scour the web and you will find no major or even semi major conservative groups speaking of revolution or civil war on their part. They are talking about the fight to defend Americas form of government- which is a constitutional republic.

AOC and the Squad and many many many more are seeking full blown socialism. The left has moved this nation very far left already and they are all iin this election to finish the job.

If Trump wins expect more riots in more streets.

If I stock up it is for the following reasons:

1. We are in a grand solar minimum and weather patterns because of that have wreaked havoc with farming globally.

2. The overreaction of the govt. to shut down major suppliers of foods due to Covid.

3. The August derecho in Iowa destroyed 1/16th of the nations corn crop

4. The fires in the west are harming farming and will cause shortages.

5. China's floods have ruined their food supply and they are buying record amounts from America, putting pressure on supplies and prices.

6. America has garnered so much debt it has reached unsustainable levels. $27 Trillion for the fed govt., $3.5 trillion for states and towns, $1.8 trillion in college debt, total personal debt at over $20 trillion and unfunded or underfunded future liabilities against the govt. at $115 trillion.


If I arm myself, I do so with full NRA training on the proper handling of firearms (which most on teh left do not do with their firearms) and will use it only as a means to protect my family should civil unrest break out!

Remember most on the right are the taxpayers of America Most of the non working population (prior to covid) were very left leaning citizens.

Sorry but you are being fed a line of bull. It is the left that even now is calling for violence should Biden lose.

Hillary has gone on national television that Biden should not accept defeat no matter what.

And for most of the leftist politicians, the reason is simple. 2 more Supreme court seats and over 100 more federal judges. Trump has appointed over half the sitting federal judges we have now and people like Biden and Watters and Shumer and Pelosi know that a Trump re-election will insure a conservative origanalist justice system for a generation.
