Both sides claim victory, neither side concedes.

It's clear the Democrats and the media are going to say Biden won no matter what actually happens.

They will point to pre election polls, the street demonstrations, Trump's supposed refusal to cede power and their own reporting as evidence.

They already have the plan in place and are already executing it frankly.

Trump will likely claim victory and refuse to concede any close election.

Democrats and media have already laid the groundwork for this expected scenario and will use Trump's reaction as more evidence to support their claims.

Do you think Republicans are equally prepared to deal with this post election period where things will be moving very fast?

Civil war now or later. It's just a matter of time. If Trump wins it satisfies conservatives and if Hiden wins it moves that way a little faster.

Exact thing happened in Guyana recently. They ended up taking 5 months to declare a winner ...

The side willing to destroy always has an advantage over the side wanting to preserve.

I’ve said it before, but America is far far too elderly, obese, and addicted to junk food/porn for an actual civil war.

Basically this.

You get revolution when people are starving. When conditions are severe in a real world sense not politically.

The general population is far too comfortable to be interested in revolution.

You could have some nuts pop off but they will just be sending themselves to federal prison for a very long time.

Yes they are. My friend works the campaign in the capital. He said they know they will have to battle voter fraud and are estimating the exact locations it happens to immediately challenge. Trump has a massive, massive amount of people working his campaign and they are very aware it seems of the tricks Democrats will try.

Because of people like Soros and governments like Chini, Russia and Iran, the side without guns would manage to procure guns very quickly.

The ability to learn about and use those guns effectively doesn't take much time.

There's potential to get really, really bad when foreign entities begin to throw their support behind the different factions that will emerge.

Revolutions are started because the Middle class is afraid of losing its position. It starts with them, bu are usually taken over by more radical elements.

I'm just curious to see what CNN will say once Trump wins and all their "polls" are opposite.

Have you ever looked at urban crime stats?

There isn't one side with guns. All kinds of factions and lone wolves would emerge in a state of chaos.

This. No morals and the media on their side, there probably isn't a viable defense against that except literal, physical defense/offense.

Yes. They have done a good job in circuit court so far in getting most of these extended voting deadlines quashed. Some are still pending.
