Ok Jolly, will you go on record now saying you won't support Trump if he declares a loss illegitimate and resits a peaceful transfer of power?

I fear you'll be right by his side, even if he shoots the constitution on 5th Avenue.

Oh sure. And to think people believe this nonsense.
Itâs amazing what people and willing to believe, the very same people who lecture on bias.

There are folks who are willing to believe anything and everything bad that might be said about both Obama and Trump., despite any evidence at all or even to the contrary.

The democrats are just asking for it.
They come down on the illegitimate side of every "voting rights" issue. They consistently favor enabling fraud. There is no need for Mr. Trump to prepare his base, that is done for him.

QED.

Itâs a topic that concerns me. He is preparing his base to see any loss as illegitimate. He didnât even accept his loss in the popular vote, almost laughably declaring n+1 fraudulent votes after losing by n.
So I think itâs a legitimate concern.
Talk me out of it.

What form do you suppose an argument might take that could plausibly talk you out of this?

+1.
It's sad that this isn't a completely absurd idea anymore.

If after the election we had rioting at 1% of the scale of our recent riots, (and equally ineffectual at getting anything accomplished - Trump would still leave office) you'd all declare vindication of your concerns. Meanwhile, no politics is to blame for our recent riots, only a racist cop in MN.

Liberalism was a mental disease. Liberalism is dead. It has been replaced by some sort of fascist idiocy that could only happen after the brain rot of modern liberalism had metastasized.
What I find hilarious about this particular bit of insanity is the utter delusion of the morons "over there".. actually believing they have a snowball's chance in hell of beating Trump. Hell, they're not even a national party any more.
I have watched that bunch of fools shift in their values so much over the years... no principles, just party loyalty, like the sheep they are. I can remember a time when if you even used the word Socialism in jest they'd get mad as hell, and swear on their mommy's grave they were not and never would embrace Socialism. Today they all embrace Socialism.
A bigger bunch of idiots I've never seen.

Who are you even talking to? First sentence sounded like me, but I can't believe you'd attribute the latter point of view to me.

Ok, Larry. Tell me that under no circumstances will you back Trump if he declares an apparent loss illegitimate.

While I haven't seen you blame any leftward politics for the rioting, I do not suspect you see the situation as basically justified, as many others with concerns about Trump leaving office do.

America had better hope the democrats never get back in power ever again. The Democrat party is a terrorist organization at this point, and WTF is a good example of the kind of spineless, ignorant dumbasses that populate it.

Loki, still think the concern is unjustified?
