If Trump wins, will his supporters be the most insufferable sore winners ever?

[ag]

That would be the least of our troubles if Trump wins. We would also have to deal with Trump presidency - something infinitely worse than any amount of gloating by our deplorable friends.

The thing I fear is that every loathsome thing Trump says or does will be met with cheering and raucous applause by these deplorables.

Sure. But that will not make them immune to a nuclear fallout.

[ag]

Probably. It's not like the nasty tone taken by the opposition has given them any reason to be empathetic or courteous.

Sure. But when Trump kills their kids, I will make it sure they know that I am celebrating.

[JA]

Of course they'll be insufferable regardless - they're already insufferable. But I fear they'll be far worse than that. I don't mean your conventional Republicans, who will share the blame for casting their vote for this man and enabled his rise to power. But his base of supporters are fanatical and he will surround himself with these people. His mere winning of the election will empower the worst elements of our society to think they've taken "their" country back, so it'll be open season on minorities and liberals. Not necessarily murder or violence in most instances, but definitely harassment and intimidation.

Ultimately, Trump's presidency will be met with a level of opposition from the Left which would at least rival what Obama has experienced from the Right. There is no reason to compromise, negotiate, or even listen to their side. They are disgusting, deplorable people who'd be more than happy to deny most of us a seat at the table because of our sex, race, immigration status, religion, or sexuality. Hate cannot be tolerated - ever. Not from our friends, family, neighbors, or, especially, from our political leaders.

Not only that, but look what he'll do to our country's reputation and alliances. He'd happily violate the Geneva Convention, try to outright steal the natural resources of other countries (Iraq and its oil), try to discriminate against immigrants and refugees based on their religion or nationality, practically destroy NATO, alienate our Western allies, piss off our Muslim allies and embolden Islamist groups, ally us with Russia, ignite trade wars, and basically end our right to promote democracy and humanitarian values around the world. Domestically, there will be no furthering of the rights of minority groups, curtailing of protections for the historically marginalized, targeting of political opponents (even within his own party), destruction of environmental regulations, suspension of all global warming and green energy initiatives, elimination of national education standards, tax cuts that'll dramatically raise the deficit, and so much more atrocious nonsense that we simply don't need. If anyone thinks our country is polarized now, just you wait. It will get so, so much worse.

   If Trump does win, it will be interesting to look back at this thread in a few years. Concerning violence against non-whites committed by whites, it might be instructive to see who is on the receiving and giving end of interracial violence now, and see where it is in a few years.  If I had to guess, I'd say little change.

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

You'd better believe it!

[Badger]

No, tough to be an insufferable sore winner when you have to actually go to work the next morning

bravo, dickhole.

[Wisconsin+17]

Nope, but they'll be the worst sore losers since sore loserman. The dims still haven't accepted that they legitimately lost to Dubya.

Being a Trump opponenr could be like being brown/black in the 50s. I'll bet employers will start to do background checks on your political affiliation and a lot of other things that are very illegal right now.

Not only this is true, but it is a reason that you're got Trump in first place. If you call [and trully think] a whole group deplorable, don't cry when they act like em

It is like go to black ghetto, call them stupid nigga thugs, and then when they really try to kill you, be screaming "told you so, they really are thugs!!!!1111 wouldn't happen if they were white!!!111".

You deserve it. Deal with it.

A Trump victory may convince me to take a job at Salesforce, even if it means a cut in salary.   They pushed back bigly on RFRA, and they will stand up to President Trump's BS.

Salesforce has been courting me for months.

Wait, didn't the Clinton supporters call this over a year ago? It appears that they were right, and it is doubtful that Trump can win this. There are six days to go and no upset seems possible. We'll all feel better a week from now and can celebrate that it is finally over.

Is it time to shift to a "Will Clinton be re-elected in 2020?" discussion?

[°Leprechaun]

In an election like this, I think we all have a tendency to get really annoyed at the other side.  I know that if Hillary wins and the Democrats take the Senate, I will be steering clear of this site for a few weeks because I don't want to read all of the gloating and overreaction about how the Republicans are dead.

Let's be realistic. That's not going to happen. This isn't 1964 and let's remember, Nixon won in 1968.

The loser and her base turned out to be the biggest batch of whiners in US political history.

And now they are talking about challenging the results of the election!

"We'll see" Seriously. If Mueller comes back whenever and says "Well, Trump and his team did a lot of stupid sh**t and had a few bad apples, but no one really committed any crimes", I will give up on the entire Russia thing. If Mueller says we should be doing something about it, we will do something about it.

They are going to try and get Trump on either a BS perjury/obstruction of justice or some financial crime charge.

This has nothing to do with Russia. In 2012 the Democrats were all over Russia. Remember Obama's "the 1980s called - they want their foreign policy back" debate zingers? Or Kerry saying Romney watches too much Rocky IV or Biden saying Romney is a Cold War hangover?

Welp, the proof is in the pudding: The answer is yes.

Quite impressive against the like of they who paraded Sore/Loserman around for a good while.

Not even close.

Anti-Trumpers are beating Trump supporters by far in terms of being sore losers compared to sore winners.

Hell, anti-Trumpers went on and on about accepting the results and still won't accept the results lol.

Yeah the Trump supporters here were classy. I had to do ALL of the gloating for six months.
