The Atlantic has published an op-ed that argues that law-and-order Republicans should vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden because Democrats will riot if he loses, refusing to accept the results if President Donald Trump wins re-election.
In an essay titled, The Democrats May Not Be Able to Concede, Shadi Hamid writes:
A loss by Joe Biden under these circumstances is the worst case not because Trump will destroy America (he cant), but because it is the outcome most likely to undermine faith in democracy, resulting in more of the social unrest and street battles that cities including Portland, Oregon, and Seattle have seen in recent months. For this reason, strictly law-and-order Republicans who have responded in dismay to scenes of rioting and looting have an interest in Biden winningeven if they could never bring themselves to vote for him.

Portland and Seattle dont have the guts or guns to shoot the rioters and looters. Here in PA, we do.

Some of the most red neck places I’ve ever seen were in Pennsylvania (that’s a good thing) and particularly western Pennsylvania.
Funny.
Just because the polls say he is leading in all six swing states and even in Texas and improving to a slight lead for "best to handle the economy" and "will best calm the riots"(Fox Poll)---does not mean he is a lock.
It just means some people are outright nuts and the polls are not to be trusted as usual. Trump will win.
By the way, where outside of a mental ward of a hospital could you find someone to believe Biden could better lead the economic recovery? How? Marxist countries always fail when they run out of other people' money. When the 50 vote majority Senate goes in after January, 2021, AOC,Pelosi,Schumer, Warren,Sanders bills will cost so much money they won't even be able to hide America has gone under. 80% income tax rate for people earning over $11,000 a year. Then We will riot---er, I mean "demonstrate" and "protest".
Not being snarky, but in what setting will you use your battle rifle (I have one, too)?
I live downtown in a high rise but have a friend who owns a well concealed farm. He would welcome extra marksmen.
My worry is rioters invading our building through the main lobby. At that range a handgun would do just as well.
It is no longer in doubt that we will have to shoot to defend ourselves & loved ones.
If I’m in my car surrounded by a hostile mob bent on mayhem, I will floor it and deal with the aftermath. It’s a 2,500 lb minivan so will be used to good effect.
We're dealing with unstable mentally ill people here. Not normal, rational people.
It's a given they don't reason well and don't know what they are talking about.
Don't even try to understand their logic. This guy had to twist himself into a pretzel to come of with this bullshit already.
Isn’t that the same as advising a new prisoner to s*** Bubba’s d***, so that Bubba will protect him from being shanked?
DANG!
I thought the Babylon Bee was satire.
“Rioters are a target rich environment”
So far those target have pretty much gone untouched.
