If you think liberals were upset when Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, just wait until you see what happens if he also beats Joe Biden, according to The Atlantic.
The progressive publication warned readers on Sunday that Democrats might not be able to concede if President Trump wins reelection, “especially” if he loses the popular vote but gets to remain in the White House. Atlantic contributing writer Shadi Hamid wrote that he doesn’t believe “Trump is a fascist or a dictator in the making” and doesn’t consider America a “failed state,” but he does have one significant concern.
“I find myself truly worried about only one scenario: that Trump will win reelection and Democrats and others on the left will be unwilling, even unable, to accept the result,” Hamid wrote before warning that liberals could take to the streets if Trump wins.
“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,” Hamid added.
Many American cities have been overwhelmed with sometimes violent demonstrations since the Memorial Day death of George Floyd in police custody. Now, The Atlantic’s contributing writer says Republicans should root for a Biden victory to avoid more chaos.
“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,” Hamid wrote.
Trump 2020 deputy communications director Matt Wolking saw the column and wrote, “They’re not even hiding it anymore.”

I believe the Trump vote will overwhelm their numbers.
For your Interest.
From the Left in print and on the air and on the Net these constant suggestions and even demands that the Insurrection go into high gear if Trump wins the Presidency again.
OK then.
The sad thing is that most of the Dems believe the false prophets in the media.
Trump will have to immediately shut down the networks to save the country.
Atlantic?
Pure Garbage!
The Atlantic magazine has always been hard leftist as long as I can remember. But it used to publish some thoughtful articles in between the propaganda pieces. Now it seems to have gone 110 percent commie insurrectionist or ? We have trash canned it.
They’re planting the seed . . . for how to respond WHEN Trump wins the election.
Good! Let them do their thing.
Let’s go for the popular vote this time and make them look even more stupid! Let’s mention freedoms to people in our communities and wear the shirts, hats, decals, signs,... Get the vote out!
51% approval, by the way.

In a time like today, when we, through confiscatory taxation on top of tuition, have been paying ideological Marxists to teach our college-age young people, we had better fight to keep the electoral college and our "republican form of government" (Art. IV., Sec. 4)
“Might not...”
Democrats haven’t accepted the last 3 Republican wins on election night.
This year won’t be any different. They will try to steal it in the courts. Just ask Al “Not really a senator” Franken.
This journalist just described why he should loathe liberals...
Al’s brother was a bastard
The article is written as though we should graciously allow Democrats to win literally every single election to avoid violent riots. We can ensure peace in our times if no Republicans win ever again.

Here - fixed his sentence:
Many American cities have been overwhelmed with sometimes violent demonstrations since the Memorial Day death of George Floyd FROM A DRUG OVERDOSE WHILE in police custody.
Hilary Clinton essentially told Biden never to concede under any circumstances if he loses. It was posted here a few weeks back.
November is not going to be petty. President Trump and Homeland Security had better be making contingency plans to deal with a massive insurrection from the violent BLM ANTIFA terrorist mobs.
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.
Insights welcome.
liberals call this a dog whistle.
“Street Battles”?
You mean those long straight open areas with no cover or concealment that allow for easy application of perfect L ambushes?
Yes it will end badly for Democrat Storm Troopers - many will be in prison - at the least
