Limbaugh Predicts 'Levels Of Violence We Have Not Seen' If Trump Wins

If Republican Donald Trump wins the White House in November, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said he expects unprecedented “levels of violence” from upset liberals.

On his Thursday radio show, Limbaugh asked listeners to imagine the fallout from the political left immediately after a possible Trump win.

“I want you to think: What’s going to happen that night? What’s going to happen the next day? What’s going to happen every day thereafter?” he said. “What’s going to happen the day Trump gets inaugurated? What is the left going to do? They’re not going to just sit idly by and accept this."

“They’re going to do everything they can to undermine it, and I think we’re going to see levels of violence that we have not seen,” Limbaugh continued. He went on to suggest anti-Trump forces would “intimidate” people into “reversing” a Trump win and doing “everything they can to see it that Trump never does get inaugurated.”

Liberals are not the ones who support political violence. That would be those on the right who advocate "second amendment solutions".

9. Listened in at lunch - he and a guest went on a wild conspiracy theory about the Lynch-Bill meeting

It was not unlike things I've read on DU the last few days.

The guest was J. Christian Adams. This guy's claim to fame is actually writing a whole book about the DoJ's mishandling of the New Black Panther event in Philly in 2008.

Adams wrote a piece about the Tarmac meeting for PJ Media that ended up in the NY Post.

It goes like this - the point of the meeting was to send a signal to DoJ careerists that Hillary was not to be indicted, the careerists' careers are at stake. Rush then basically told his listeners that the whole thing was them being led around by their noses but he used the Tarmac conspiracy theory as cover. He said that the goal of this whole Dem lead thing (yeah) was to deflate the right, to make them feel as though they are thoroughly defeated.

I was going to start a thread on it but I'll just leave it here.

11. Did they really need the tarmac meeting to convince themselves of a conspiracy?

Even if the meeting never happened, they would still believe that the DOJ and USAG fixed it for Hillary.

12. "Many of you have been lead to believe that WE'VE FINALLY GOT THEM!"

Gee wonder where they got that idea Rush.

He concluded "I've said from the beginning that it's not going to happen. You have to understand how the Democrat party works. They will never allow the nominee of their party be indicated by an Obama Department of Justice!!"

Paraphrased a bit but that was pretty close.
I was listening thinking that he is softy trying to let them know that they have been fooled once again but it's the Dems' fault.

Trump minions who will go ape shit when Der Fuher Trump Monkey gets his ass handed to him in November.

They will say it was stolen..it was rigged and some of the more idiotic ones will make a call to arms to take their country back.

I don't remember a spike in gun sales when Nader gave GWB the presidency in 2000 but I sure as shit have seen them since Obama in 2008.

Alot of them are blowhard wanna be Chuck Norris types bit there are dangerous militia gun nuts out there.

To the minions It's just not possible Trump could lose..they got this..He's their boy..the chosen one they have been waiting for.

Was talking to a minion on a job site in the spring.
Muddle aged 40 sumthing. Ex military.

When asked what exactly Trump was going to do on illegal immigrants he looked me straight in the eye and said .."don't worry..brother trump will take good care of them" and winked at me.

Was really creepy the way he said it.

They are out there.

15. The NRA is praying for Hillary to win.

Having a dreaded foe in power drove gun sales through the roof to unprecedented and record breaking levels after Obama won, and the panic to buy even more guns will make that look like business as usual once Hillary wins.

They've learned, a Democratic president results in huge profits for the gun manufacturers, and thus massive donations to the NRA, over the fear they peddle of gun grabs that never materialize.

13. Actually, the wingnut militias and other rightwing terrorists are all set to go if Trump loses.

I fully expect large pockets of violence perpetrated by rightwing fanatics nationwide when Hillary wins.

Under the justified assumption that their violence would be welcomed by a President Trump.
