Right wingnuts arm up.
Suddenly the nation discovers that left wing nuts are armed up as well (and have been all along)!
The fun begins.
One thing I 've found interesting is, since November 8th, Antifa chapters have been popping up all over the place like pustules on an open wound. Even in the heart of Trumpland!!! Midwest Antifa, in Lansing, Michigan? REALLY? The far left is gearing up and gaining adherents. Typically peaceful/non-violent strategies don't really seem to be the talk of the town. Black Block numbers are swelling.
Ahhhh the crisis is upon us.
Not clear to me who gets selected by Congress. The Democrats would likely unite behind Hillary, but they're in the minority. Lotsa luck. There would be no lack of establishment Republican candidates, but the establishment Republicans were rejected by the Republican base all through the election process. How much of House would dare the wrath of their base enough to dump Trump? If the Republicans in the House are firmly divided, if there is no majority there, I think the presidency goes to the president of the Senate, who happens to be the Vice President elect? Would there be enough Republicans in the House dissatisfied with the Vice President to hand it to Hillary? I'm doubtful. Who then would the Vice President turned President nominate as President?
All interesting conjecture, fodder for fun on the forum, but I suspect enough the electors will stay loyal to the will of the people to get Trump in.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
