Given What Trump Has ‘Stirred Up,’ NYT Columnist Fears Aftermath If He Loses

Was New York Times columnist Frank Bruni suggesting there could be civil unrest if Donald Trump loses big and bitterly? That seemed a likely implication of his comments on todays Morning Joe. Bruni said his fear is: what if he goes down big and goes down bitterly? I really worry about the aftermath. I worry about November 9th and forward in terms of whats been stirred up.
Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson tried to soothe poor Franks fears: We survived Bush-Gore 2000, we made it through that just fine and I think well make it through post-Trump just fine, too.

The real bitterness will be against the media. The sickening realization is that the inherently dishonest, corrupt and incompetent Hillary Clinton became President with the help of a worshipful media that refused to examine her record and inform the American people. People will be bitter. Divisions will be real. The country will suffer. I'm already to the point where I would cheer a Nuke Strike on the media. I want to see their organizations destroyed. They have much bloodshed for which they need to be made to answer.

The USA is ripe for break up. Courts and Urban dwellers are in open revolt against the heartland where all their revenue comes from. It seems the citizenry could live with the wealth transfers, but not the cultural throat forcing. Its just a matter of time until break up unless a leader, such as Trump, can force some equilibrium back into the system. Why does that sound so familiar? Oh Yeah. 1861.

Given who (read: liberals) actually riots, commits random violence and burns things down when displeased, his concern would be better placed on Hillary supporters. When liberals riot, neighborhoods burn. when conservatives riot, Nations burn. In a head to head confrontation with Liberals, we will quickly eradicate them. We have the guns, we have the Warrior tribe, and we have a vengeful will once aroused.

Protest: an event at which people gather together to show strong disapproval about something.
Maybe you could call it Tea Party 2? That’ll show em we mean business.

It's happening, but in slow motion. Ratings are tanking. The Pittsburgh Democrat Rag raised it's daily newsstand price to $2.00. No one is buying it anymore.

I have finally succumbed to the realization that our country is being run by a trans-national deep state made up of people who can afford their own pedophiliac islands and body-part farms. These criminals are making billions off of illegal activities like money laundering and refugee smuggling, and legal activities like ripping off small bank account holders through the imposition of ridiculous user fees. Obama and Clinton are merely the puppets, although at some level their egos are so enlarged they think they are in charge. Our military has become their tool. The financial criminals don't have to worry about the safety of their kids and grandkids as they will always have someplace of refuge and armed security. If you follow the facts you can come to no other conclusion. This used to be tinfoil hat territory, but no more.

Liberals are physically attacking Trumpsters on a daily basis now, but the meme is “What Trump has stirred up!”???
Violence by leftists against any who dare to criticize them is ALWAYS the Republican’s fault, isn’t it? It’s like Abused Wife Syndrome.

Just amazing that this Special Snowflake fantasizes about non-existent stirrings from the law-abiding Trump supporter/voter but has ZERO to say about the ongoing, daily terrorism from BLM, The New BPP, La Raza, SEIU (OK...that was gratuitous, but they are prone to violence), or anyone else that Soros/Steyer can fund.

My fear is that we could see a massive popular
vote for Trump but have Hillary! win the electorial
votes. A truly bad situation considering a evenly
divided supreme court.

It is the broadcast media which has been deliberately steering elections and undermining the election process.
Those cameras, microphones, satellites and studios are a weapon in the war between left and right. The right needs to take that weapon away from the left, and then turn it against them.

If you follow the facts you can come to no other conclusion. This used to be tinfoil hat territory, but no more. It isn't really a "conspiracy", but more like a tribe of social elitists enriching themselves and looking out for other members of this "elitist" tribe.
It is the reimposition of the Aristocracy from which we got away when we broke from England in 1776. The "Aristocracy" has been working ever since to resume what they believe is their natural station as the source of all power.
And yes, both Republican and Democrat elitists are in this social "tribe." That is why they have been behaving like the "Uni-Party" for quite some time.

My fear is that a Nazi-bitch like Hitlery would even have a chance of winning. Only a very sick and vile nation would even consider her as a candidate.

Better find your "safe space" now Bruni, while the gettin's good.
After Trump wins by a landslide, the only civil unrest will be at your newspaper, the New York Slimes, trying to figure at how they all got it so wrong.
