I am worried some nutty Tea Party gun nuts may become violent after Obama wins [View all]

Many of these people HATE Obama in an evil way and they really believe Romney will win in a landslide which in their eyes will prove to all of us Obama is a loser. Well, there is an 83% chance their fantasy world is about to come crumbling down on them like a ton of bricks! I fear someone will lash out in violence because they hate Obama in such a powerful way and they are as nutty as a fruitcake.

Anyone else have this fear?
