Election fraud test run for what the Democrats want to do here in November.

If Trump wins, expect massive protests and claims of fraud, cheating and tampering.

But it will be bigger than anything we have seen.

The marxist revolution is just getting started.

so which side is the good guys here?

are the protesters to usual libtards?

I don’t think massive protests to overthrow Trump would win. It would start a shooting war, I think

People have had enough of this

A friend is there says this is going to get very bad. The vote totals were skewed and people are very angry.. There may be a Ceaucescu moment to come.

looking at vids of the protestors yesterday I was struck by who they were and how they acted. They were mostly young adults, dressed nicely, no clubs or weapons, were orderly - but it was a massive crowd. Not like American protestors at all.

That is an amazing promotional poster for the film! Thanks for sharing 🙂 How could it not be epic with Anne Hathaway, Sean Penn, and Roy Schroeder!?

Belarus is a tricky one. Belarusians have their own language (they also speak Russian) and have Baltic influences due to proximity. Minsk is only a couple hours drive from Vilnius. I believe a lot of Belarusians consider themselves Russian or at least strongly aligned with Russia. Then there is another chunk of the population that wants sees the Baltics booming and wants access to EU jobs. I don’t believe they have a big country mentality like Russians do. Obviously, they don’t see themselves as an equal to the EU and US.

Russians consider Belarus a small Russian village. Very dismissive of it. But being that it is in such a strategic spot between the Baltics and Moscow you can bet Putin won’t tolerate this situation for long.

Let em burn down THEIR neighborhoods. Just don't ask us to help fix the problems they created. Most are parasites anyway.

We all know the communist party’s voter fraud will be historically massive.

The question is what will the patriots do if the communist party actually steals the election thru their fraud?

Just a few protests here and there but the communists still take control of America and complete the destruction.
