Poll: Majority of Americans Fear Post-Election Civil War
breitbart.com ^ | 10/7/2020 | Simon Kent

A poll of a selection of U.S. voters found 56 percent of respondents said they expect to see “an increase in violence as a result of the election” amongst other reservations about the election results just weeks before Election Day.

When asked about just what sort of violence they expected to see, those polled responded with “riots,” “looting,” “burning” as some of their predictions. “Trashing of cities” was another response.

The YouGov poll was completed between October 1 – 2, 2020 and used 1,503 respondents.

It followed another poll released October 1 that found 61 percent of Americans agree with the concern the U.S. could be on the verge of another Civil War.

Additionally, 52 percent of consumers have also stockpiled food or essential goods in anticipation of social unrest tied to a resurgence of coronavirus in the coming months and/ or the election.

The responses follow a tumultuous summer of street riots across America led by left-wing political agitators.

I work part time in a fairly large gun store.
We get shipments of ammo in most days and it is gone within an hour or so.

I always plan for the worst case.

The cupboards are overflowing with _everything_....hopefully was an unnecessary precaution.

There is NO WAY we are going to tolerate a 3 week wait for election results so Dems can keep finding fake ballots to prop up Slow Joe. Not gonna happen. The Supreme Court is not even going to allow accepting new ballots for 3 weeks after the election.
If countries like the UK, Germany, France, Japan can vote and count ballots in just one day, why cant the US?
Is America a third world country?
We can send men to the moon 50 years ago but we don't know how to count votes? Trump is not the kind of guy that is going to accept this garbage. If a civil war is what it will take, a civil war it is.

Buy from a place that has better inventory control. Lol.

Once you put it in your cart you should have a few minutes to check out. Not doing that is the sign of a pretty weak system.

“Mall shoot outs.” That’s funny.

I could take a MA duece with a full box and spray down the center aisle at the nearest mall...and not hit a soul. It’s been like that for a couple of YEARs.

Coexisting with the Left is becoming increasingly problematic for those who want personal freedom and to live peaceful lives in an orderly society.

And the left thinks the same thing about us. The difference is we would be happy if they just went away and left us alone. They want us dead or subjugated.

Have I got to start looking for lead ingots again? Or should I just go through the parking lot with a screw driver picking lead off of wheels?

Knowledge and powder and primers. You will never be out of ammo.

Probably for good except to drive down Tx 130 to get past Austin. Ready.

Newton's three laws apply to libtards too at 80mph.

I don’t. The instant the election results are final the Dems will call off their thugs and peace will prevail. Especially if the Dems win.

Wheel weights haven’t been made of lead for years, you’ll have to find old cars.

I keep wanting to start an online “word bingo” targeted at: “A bin of ballots was found;

In a car trunk
In a back room
In a dumpster
In a gully
Along side a road
In my back yard
Lining the local dog kennel

We are going to hear it all. And it will get ridiculous.

Who has been doing the looting, arson and violent assaults? Conservatives? No, that wouldn’t conserve. But places where police have been resigning/retiring may need to do something. Again, those are not areas led by conservatives. We believe there is a need to conserve law enforcement.

Fairly prepared for us, for the dogs not as much.

I’ll buy dry dog food closer to election- so it doesn’t get old and if not needed and can be donated.

I think the dogs would be most shocked, as they currently eat home cooked.

Those still have lead in them, but considerably messier to deal with.

Petty much. The Dems already dumped Trump ballots in the dumpster in Wisconsin. And that's just the ones we found. Most of the dumped/stolen Trump ballots have been destroyed without trace, just like Jimmy Hoffa. November is not going to be a peaceful month.

Here in California mail-in ballots are accepted and counted up to 17 days after November 3rd.

17 days. It probably won’t matter except for some close Congressional races especially in Orange and San Diego Counties, where Democrats beat incumbent Republicans in 2016 and helped win the House.
Seventeen days is sufficient time to manufacture enough fake ballots to possibly turn some elections.
