Serious concerns about post-election Trump and his "movement"

After he is trounced (and I do believe he WILL be). His followers will not stop following. Will he continue to attract the "sovereign citizens", heavily armed and beholden to no one but..... who?

This is not a good time to have underfunded, under manned and dispirited domestic Federal agencies. . .

I'm not especially worried in the immediate aftermath of the election. There isn't enough central organization there yet. I'm more worried further down the road.

very well may be who the 'CONs will be voting for as tRump will either be dropped or will pull out.

maybe Obama will get to be President a while longer while the pukes redo their primary, however that would work.

If that scenario was to happen just think about all the heads that would be exploding. our country would be running red and whatever color brains are for a while

is made up of rational, sensible people.

Hell, right now we have roughly 45% of the country voting against their own best interest, year after year. Sure, there will be a fringe right and left after the election, but neither will be a serious problem to those running the country. If it's one thing people in power know how to do, it's to keep the kooks under wraps until they're needed.

the sovereigns will be a problem. After being built up some will be going through a extreme let down period. Case in point look at the people who took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
