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.”

Demoncats have already blown their wad. They got nothin left
Well said.
And I think we can equally guarantee trouble if Trump wins the electoral college, not to mention the popular vote on election day before all the vote harvesting and fraudulent ballots are mailed and counted, and there is an attempt to prevent him from remaining in office. The will dems have a second civil war on their hands if they choose to start one again, and I suspect they will not fare any better than they did the first time. That so-called majority popular vote will not come from real people.
Close but it was National Lampoon, not Mad.
Can we get friendly local sheriffs and police to deputize lots of law abiding citizens so when this crap goes down, our folks can rightly defend and respond without fear of legal reprisal?

If you’re in the right place, your local sheriff says all citizens should have AT LEAST 1,000 rounds per firearm in their home or at their ranch.
Texas.
It’s worse than “Trump can’t be allowed to win the election.” America cannot arrest career criminals like George Floyd, if they are black, without America being burned to the ground. George Floyd was no “hero.” He was a consistently violent criminal.
The outcome most likely to “undermine democracy” would be the unending count of dubious mail-in ballots with unverified signatures and no postmarks. And every time a count gets close to tapering off? Voila! Somebody finds another post office carton of 10,000 ‘ballots’ that some unknown state judge will order counted.
That’s Absolutely Correct!
Hopefully some one
Would post it!

Me,
Not MAD!
Just Clazy.
I believe it and see it happening.
They’ve been floating the idea for well over a year now...
They’ve been normalizing violence in the streets since 2016, during the first time they (leftists) opposed the peaceful transition of power.
Their message is now, “Vote for Harris/biden, otherwise our shock troops will riot.”

The first 3 “Big Bang” incidents SHOULD be at the NY Slimes, CNN and MSNBC HQ.
