Atlantic Op-ed: Democrats Will Riot If They Lose, Therefore Republicans Should Let Joe Biden Win
Breitbart ^ | September 14 2020 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 09/14/2020 11:48:34 AM PDT by knighthawk

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 can’t), 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 winning—even if they could never bring themselves to vote for him.

No we need to win big and then implement with strong measures law and order and the rule of law. Our constitution should be upheld and any prosecutor who refuses to charge and prosecute appropriate crimes should be fired on the spot and replaced.

I think they should also be charged with dereliction of duty. They should not be able to walk away whole. Jail time is needed for this kind of civil crime. Loss of law license at the bare minimum.

They are already rioting. They started in 2016 and Kamala Harris promises us that it won’t stop after the election and that it shouldn’t stop.

Prepping time is growing short.

I left Los Angeles in June, so they can burn it down for all I care. There’s a handful of people there that I care about, but most of them are smart enough to get to high ground.

Sadly there is a percentage of noodle-spined Americans who will do just as this op-ed wrongly suggests but real Americans don’t like to be bullied.

They will vote for Trump. For those who think they can continue to riot and destroy property after the election; they have a hard lesson coming.

Shadi Hamid is vile piece of Muslim schiff. He should immediately be dropped in the middle of a desert without water and miles away from the nearest road.

Well if it does end up being a civil war we've seen this so far:

1. One conservative took out three leftist attackers armed with various weapons including a handgun.

2. It took an entire team of leftists to take out one unarmed conservative.

I think they use antibiotics for the Shadi Hamid bacteria infection, but it is tetracycline resistant.

As my father used to say, Not no, but hell no. The socialists have taken over the Democratic party. They can either revert to a classical liberal postion or go to hell!

Yeah, that kind of attitude worked well for Neville Chamberlain in 1938.

” When you see looters and arsonist being shot dead a lot of this BS will stop.”

As usual, you take the initiative, grab the bull by the horns and get down to business!
I’m not as good a shot as I once was but I can swing a hammer to help build scaffolds! There’s going to be a big demand for those!

I’m Beelzepug, and I’m getting mad!
