    If the dems win, the Soros rioters should feel satisfied and at least decrease the violence, but then again, we are talking about deranged lunatics, not rational people. Conservative voters have job and family responsibilities and are typically unable to go out and riot for weeks on end.

    It seems quite clear that a Trump victory will be greeted by mahem with the dems threatening not to cocede under any circumstances. Continued violence could likely be the rule and not the exception.

    It really depends IMO on how desperate the Far Left Antifa types on one side and the Race War types on the other side are itching for a fight. Violence, yes. Civil war as is being predicted by some journalists, no.

    I certainly do.

    First of all, we have seen the stark divide between the Democratic and Repbuican parties in the past view years even before Trump was elected. This represents a stark divide between the people in the U.S. And this division is so deep and wide, that there is no bridging it. There is no place to compromise any more. The Conservative, Right, and Christian, are on one side. The Liberal, Left,and Atheists, are on the other. An impassable gulf.

    Second of all, once the fighting and antagonism starts occurring between the politicians, which it has, it is only a step away from it then being acted out with the people of the nation. Which it is. You see an example of this in what is called our 'Civil War'. That war really wasn't a civil war. It was a war between the States. But this next one, and yes it is coming, will be a real civil war. It is not just going to involve States. It is going to involve those political divisions mentioned. And it will take place in every state.

    Third of all, because race is such a powerful division, the coming civil war will certainly take on a race war. Yes, there are blacks and minorities in the Republican party. But over all it is white, and is seen by blacks and minorities as white. Yes there are whites in the Democratic party but it is seen as the party of blacks and minorities. Once the shooting and killing starts, and one of a certain race kills or rapes another of a certain race, then the political views will be dropped and it will be race against race.

    So, my advice to all is to purchase a gun now and an abundance of ammo while you still can. If Republicans win, the riots will certainly escalate. If the Democrats win the riots will escalate cause they are being supported now by Democratic leaders. They will feel they have the freedom to do exactly what they are doing. The Democrats have made it clear, as if it wasn't known already, they will come after your guns. It will be harder to take a gun you own then to impede your ability to buy a gun. If you wait, you may not get another chance.

    Civil war is coming to this country unless one race bows down to the other. One race will dominate. Our country has no answer as how to stop it because it ignores the division of race. It wants to see all men as 'equal'. But all men are not equal.

    There will be continued violence, though less and less. I see the dem governors cracking down on violence after the election, whoever wins. The current “hands off” strategy is pure politics designed to blame POT:S: Violence in TR:MP’S America has been the talking point.

    Once appropriate policing is brought back, much fewer “protestors” will risk the consequences of lawlessness.

    peace to you

    I hope you are correct, but I do NOT have the faith that the ds will exhibit the common sense you attribute to them.
    As a few other times though, I would love to be proven wrong.

    Regardless of how non-Christians act, we have been told how Christians are to act:

    “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” - ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:14-21‬ ‭ESV‬‬

    The chaos that is going to erupt prior to the opening of the 6th seal, will not be the US civil strife. Unless the Democrats are all Chinese and Russian operatives turning the US into the 4th major player in the China, Russia, and Iran global effort against the ME.

    Which, IMHO, is a distinct possibility should the ds win in Nov.

    I suspect God considers innocent people as more than broken “eggs”. You should too.

    Once you have a hot war, enough death and destruction has to occur to allow for the war to end.
    The left are the ones who can't live with the right, the left is the one that would start any such war, just as they are doing now in the cities with their protests, riots, looting, and attacks on police and civil authorities. To the left, the police are defending the system, as in private property and capitalism, so the war if there is ever one, is the same old socialism versus capitalism plot. The socialists start every war started in the 20th century, going back to the Russian revolution. These same socialists in the US today are calling for a revolution and Bernie Sanders, AOC, etc,,, all hold up the same socialist fist in the air and talk of a revolution.

    The Nazi party was also a socialist government. called the National Socialist German Workers' Party

    A certain percentage will recognize the threats coming from the Left and will vote in hope to avoid the violence. That is how terrorism works. Fortunately, we also have a population that will not be intimidated by these terrorist's threats and on the contrary will be fired up to vote against them.
