Will The Election Results Cause Massive Riots To Erupt All Over America?

Will The Election Results Cause Massive Riots To Erupt All Over America?

Michael Snyder
October 13, 2012

Will the most divisive campaign in modern American history culminate in massive riots in our major cities? Right now, supporters of Barack Obama and supporters of Mitt Romney are both pinning all of their hopes on a victory on November 6th. The race for the presidency is extremely tight, and obviously the side that loses is going to be extremely disappointed when the election results are finalized. But could this actually lead to violence? Could we actually see rioting in communities all over America? Well, the conditions are certainly ripe for it. A whole host of surveys over the past few years have shown that Americans are very angry and very frustrated right now. In fact, a Pew Research Center poll from late last year found that 86 percent of all Americans are either angry or frustrated with the federal government.
We have seen this frustration manifest in protest movements such as the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street, but right now things are fairly calm as liberals and conservatives both look forward to November 6th. Many Republicans started the countdown to the next election literally the day after John McCain lost back in 2008. All of their hopes of getting Obama out of the White House are riding on a Romney victory. For many Democrats, Barack Obama is a "once in a generation" icon. Just the thought of Mitt Romney replacing Obama in the White House is enough to push many of them to the brink of insanity. In recent years we have seen horrible rioting erupt in cities after major sports championship games. How much worse could the rioting potentially be if this bitterly contested election is decided by a very narrow margin - especially if there are allegations that the election is "stolen"?

The election is nearly four weeks away, and many Obama supporters are already threatening to riot if Obama loses. The following are some very disturbing messages that were posted on Twitter recently that have been reposted on Twitchy.com....

"If Romney wins I'm Starting a Riot....Who's WIT ME???"

"I Hope The USA Is Well Aware That If In The Event This Character Romney Wins The Election, The People Will Start A Country Wide Riot! #Power"

"If Romney is elected president, its gon be a riot its gon be a riot."

"If ROMNEY GETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE ...U MIGHT AS WELL KILL ME NOW .....CAUSE ITS GONNA BE A ************ RIOT !!!"

"If Romney became President and took away welfare Downtown Cincinnati would become a riot"

"If Romney takes away food stamps 2 Chainzz in this bit IMMA START A RIOT"

"If Romney wins. (which i highly doubt) THERE WILL BE A RIOT—"

The following are a few more tweets that I found which threaten a potential riot if Obama loses the election....

From @joecools_world....

"Need 2 come up wit a game plan if Romney win.... Riot all thru Newark"

From @killacate....

"I swear on everything I love if Romney wins ima riot. I don't even care if its just me."

Romney supporters are not really threatening to riot, but many of them are proclaiming that they may leave the country if Obama wins. Here are some examples....

From @BrentskiTheBoss....

"If Obama gets reelected I may leave the country"

From @AbbieFickes....

"im sorry but if obama were to win again, i might as well leave the country and live in zimbabwe"

This presidential campaign has been getting increasingly heated, and individuals on both sides have been committing some despicable acts.

For example, in a previous article I mentioned that some Romney campaign signs down in Virgina have been smeared with excrement.

Over in Ohio, a huge pile of manure was dumped right in front of Warren County Democratic headquarters early on Tuesday morning....

Volunteers at the Warren County Democratic headquarters, just north of Cincinnati, were shocked and disappointed by a political prank unloaded on them early Tuesday morning – someone dumped a pile of horse manure in the parking lot of the headquarters building on US 42, just north of Lebanon.

It appears that both sides have resorted to literally slinging crap around.

There is so much hate in America today, and this campaign is bringing a lot of it to the surface. It is even being reported that a bus driver told a 12-year-old boy that he should have been aborted because his family has a Romney campaign sign in their yard....

Belling read a letter from the 12-year-old boy's mother, detailing the alleged abusive behavior by the bus driver.

Apparently, the Romney-Ryan yard sign bugs the bus driver and she's been harassing the boy, making rude comments to him related to politics.

When the driver engaged the 12-year-old boy in a political conservation, he responded by saying that Obama is pro-abortion.

The bus driver allegedly said to the child, "Maybe your mom should have chosen abortion for you."

How sick is that?

You can strongly disagree with someone without being mean and without being hateful.

Right now, the United States is a bubbling cauldron of frustration and anger that could be set off at any moment. This election could potentially be a "trigger point" which could end up unleashing a lot of that anger and frustration.

Already, there have been allegations that the Republicans have been committing voter registration fraud. Democrats are furious about this.

Evidence has also emerged that Democrats have been willing to assist voters in registering to vote in two different states. The following is from a recent article by Mac Slavo....

When undercover reporters visited various locations across the country they received the same response from Obama campaign staffers – that it’s basically okay to vote multiple times if you happen to be registered in two or more states.

In Houston, Texas, for example, the Project Veritas reporter made her intentions known, and rather than being rebuffed for her planned illegal activity, she was provided assistance with obtaining the proper forms to be registered in two states and was told to say “I don’t know” if the double-voting ever became an issue.

Similar situations unfolded at other DNC funded community organizations.

It appears quite probable that whichever side loses this election will accuse the other side of stealing the election.

And if millions of Americans feel that the election has been stolen from them, that will make it much more likely that we will see rioting.

Keep your ears open for phrases such as "voter fraud" and "election fraud" following this election. People are so angry already that even allegations that someone stole the election could be enough to set the streets of America on fire.

As always, let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst

Someone the other day described what’s happening perfectly; they said it’s like being in a car wreck you are driving along you see a car coming at you he’s not stopping for the red light there’s no place for you to go you know for sure he is going to hit you and then everything slows down like a scene from some action movie the car coming seems to be crawling you can even see the surprise on the other drivers face. When he hits you the flying glass seems to hang in the air for a second and all the time there ain’t a damn thing you can do, but pray you survive.

Personally I we will see something much like the collapse of Argentina ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yerKMQc7-w&feature=grec_index )but on a global scale.

As far as the election either way it goes I believe we will soon see social unrest, the closer the election gets the more things will become like walking a mine field and a miss step and things can and will exploded.

Despite the CDC’s tongue and cheek presentation for National Preparedness Month, there really are Zombies, just not the kind from George A. Romero films. They have been fed from the Government’s stash and walked among us for years now and many have been caught on film, but it was in a movie it was for real:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JtPLyYpyyA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4F8ob9nlfY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Ykj92c9v8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnpqBb_7PJ4

These and many more like events show (Flash Mobs, OWS, etc) that we have a large entitlement minded population that is violent prone. I think that during a collapse you will see many small businesses wiped out by flash mob looting, and once started it will quickly spread to rape, robbery and murder for murder sake. You will see what I call ‘pocket pogroms’ and if you ain’t ‘Amish’ you better not be around when they come.

I am very much in agreement of the author of this article about what we can look forward to:

When The Music Stops – How America’s Cities May Explode In Violence

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2926391/posts

Many of these ‘zombies’ will think no more about killing you to get ‘stuff’ than zombies in the lastest horror flick and do it just as gruesomely as any of the worse scenes in those same movies.

Many of you who have read my post know I often refer to this quote from Star Trek Deep Space Nine: “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Siege of AR-558 (#7.8)” (1998)

Quark: “Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.”

It has repeated been shown throughout history that this is what happens to people once placed under such stressful conditions and yet you would be surprised how many people don’t realize the transformations that can take place under such conditions. And because of their ignorance many won’t even live long learn.

If you want to learn what happens I suggest you read some of Selco’s firsthand experiences in Bosnia:

A Survival Q & A: Living Through SHTF In The Middle Of A War Zone

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2798007/posts

Clearly there’s a storm coming, as great as a hurricane and like you do when a hurricane comes your way you either prepare to weather it or you become a victim of it.

For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpfull. You can download it at:

http://tomeaker.com/kart/Preparedness1j.pdf

NOTE! THIS IS A FREE DOWNLOAD. I DO NOT MAKE ONE CENT OFF MY PREPAREDNESS MANUAL!

For those of you who haven’t started already it’s time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.
As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”

Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3

“There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger.
Underestimation can be fatal.”

In this thread “(vanity) Trending on Twitter #IfObamaDontWin (liberals getting depressed)” from 6 Sept http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2927746/posts we discussed this tweet:

@JosephG_ #IfObamaDontWin Im knocking out the first white person i see

THAT is what I worry about. Lately they’ve seemingly been having a contest to see if they can knock out some poor schlepp with ONE hit - walk past him and hit him from behind.

Even if they don’t riot, how many will die going about their daily business?

I once asked a thug why they wear their pants like that...
He said to scare whites..... ???
It doesn’t scare me, All it does is make me want to by more ammo and hit the shooting range more.

I wonder if those boys know that the level that their pants reach towards the ground signals their level of willingness to engage in anal sex in prisonspeak.

My favorite quote from the article:

"im sorry but if obama were to win again, i might as well leave the country and live in zimbabwe"

And if he wins, his economic policies will cause us to become Zimbabwe. Idiot.

I believe the south considered the American civil war the second war for independence.

One study shows %25 of military would take lethal action against US civilians if ordered.
For how long? Let’s hope we don’t find out.

It will be a short lived support if it happens due to internal and external strife.

How much worse could the rioting potentially be

depends on how much money Soros wants to spend

The riots will not last long as Governors in most states will crush any leftist rebellion that arises. If obama wins... the right will go John Galt... not che like the left.

“...when the Dems knew Obama was in real trouble, they’d play the “possible unrest” card.”

Yes, I agree. This is the last card they will play. And we may see it sooner rather than later because it looks like they’ve got very little dirt on Romney.

What have they come up with so far? The dog story, the haircutting story (ridiculously put on the front page of the WaPo- that hurt the MSM more than Romney); the totally false accusations of not paying taxes and Romney’s own goal of the 47%.

I think I’ve forgotten one or two, but that’s because they are so forgettable.

I hope they do push the “there might be riots” meme, because all that is going to do is LOSE them even more white voters.

For sure gays, along with their gay media, are going to be out in force, demanding justice, equality, and perversion for all. The Occutards and the prissy prancers of the Black Panthers will join the mooslim brotherhood, and the union thugs in the neighborhood to turn Obama’s loss into a gay day of mayhem, trash and graffiti, looting and burning, disorder and ignorance. Teachers and students alike will revolt, and maybe the janitors too. The feminist and greens and talk show queens will burn America in effigy. And then it will be another day.

The Lefties will riot and burn down their own neighborhoods, because there in no legitimate reason to vote against Obama. It has to hatred, race hatred, class hatred, women hatred, support of white privilege.

The Lefties will attack and injure democrat-voting big city police officers.

if a white person drew a cartoon of those thugs in clown cloths, they would be called a racist...

the black population at large should be ashamed of these stereotypical looking chickenhead bangers perpetuating the ideals of their own wretchedness instead of making excuses for them

they couldn't look any worse if they all had a water melon under one arm while eating fried chicken with the other

thank you LBJ

What’s your take on those scenarios and the likely extent of “possible unrest”?

If Obama voters riot, they'll effectively set a "brand" for their party they won't be able to shake for many, many years. My personal opinion is it'll be in a few small areas, although that could easily get out of hand. As Rush said a few weeks back, liberal ideology is more sacred than Obama, so if he loses you can look for several "important" Dems to throw him under the bus, which could help quell anger. No matter what happens, I'm not worried---or afraid.

I don’t know about ‘riots’, I don’t think this country has gotten there yet, BUT, I am concerned about massive cheating in states with close votes. I wonder how many illegal voters will be voting, felons voting, how many will vote serveral times, how many dead people will be voting, how many times Micky Mouse and Donald Ducks will be voting. With loose voting requirements in many states that don’t require photo ID, anybody can vote.

Most, if not all, states restore a felon's right to vote, once they are released from custody.

I have a friend who is the nicest guy in the world but he's a bit of a gun connoisseur. Beside a basement full of [legal] sporting rifles he also has a collection of old military rifles [M1-semi] [1903 Springfield] [Mauser KAR 7.92]
I may have the designations wrong-not much into guns but he also has one of the Italian rifles used to kill Kennedy. He's always bragging that if anything ever happens he will take care of his neighborhood by arming anyone without a gun. I don't know whether to worry more about him or potential rioters if something happens.

This country has become so wussified. Someone smeared excrement on a sign? Oh dear me.

In Chicago, political campaigns have traditionally been waged with grenades and drive-bys. Each candidate makes a deal with one or more of the local gangs. Then those gangs shoot, stab and bomb those backing the other candidate. This is known as the ground game.

This is nothing new. Riots? Saints preserve us!
