The left and its mocking bird media are fond of asking whether the GOP and MAGA movement will “accept the results of the election.” Their question’s assumptions are two-fold: one, there will be no voter “irregularities” in the election; and, two, the Democrat candidate will win the presidency.
Their first assumption would constitute a historical first. America has a long history of such electoral irregularities by both parties. In addition to the Jim Crow civil rights violations against African-Americans starting during Reconstruction, various “bosses” from both parties orchestrated patronage systems designed to facilitate electoral wins by any means fair or foul to keep the graft gravy train running: phantom voters, ballot box stuffing, multiple voting by individual voters in the same election, etc.
In the 18th Century, New York was a hotbed of “bossism.” One of the earliest and most successful was former Whig and later GOP boss, Senator Thurlow Weed. Later, and ironically, the chief executive who signed the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act was a product of New York Senator and state GOP boss Roscoe Conkling’s machine, namely President Chester A. Arthur, who was known as “the Gentleman Boss.” Meanwhile, in New York City, William M. “Boss” Tweed helmed the Democrats’ legendary Tammany Hall.
Yet, while the above instances were predicated on greed, today ideology and fear can spark the baser instincts of many politically driven individuals to “win” elections by any means necessary. Thus, in our politically divisive time, wherein many on both sides of the aisle believe the defeat of their party will result in the death of democracy and/or the republic, it is naïve to believe not one solitary individual, be they left or right, would endeavor to engage in voter irregularities to win.

The left only respects power. Totalitarian power, of their own.
Short answer: NO. See my tagline.
If Trump wins I look for Antifa to have coordinated riots across the country, terrorist sleeper cells that have come across our open border to begin operations and Democrats in Congress to obstruct every bill. The media will of course be filled with Trump loathing. However, there will also be a mass exodus of illegals who have their gravy train ended.
They did also consider that open voting was subject to intimidation like if your landlord Baron Blueblood had picked out who he wanted to win and you were expected to vote for his stooge.
As Steve Bannon said: “it will be Stalingrad every day”
The answer, of course, lies in how dems define democracy. So of course they won’t since it doesn’t result in a win for them.
