In the event of a Trump loss I would not be surprised to see the blm/antifa mob types energized to the point of targeting conservative groups in order to elicit a violent response in the hopes that the local government comes down hard on the conservatives.

This, again, is just from my armchair, but this is the scenario that I think would cool their jets: A mob of "burn it down" aficionados decides to terrorize a suburban neighborhood. A dozen of them approach a house and decide to lob Molotovs. If even just one of the group throws the fire, the homeowner opens up on all of them. Again, from my armchair, this is what I might expect a soldier to do if the Taliban approach his position with a rocket launcher. You don't just shoot that guy - you shoot at all of them, because it's war.

These are my top 2 most probable scenarios given what’s going on around us.  I’ve already discussed with several neighbors in our community on how we’d respond to those groups coming out to our rural neighborhood.  We have only 2 road entry exits and discussed how we’d barricade them to keep vehicle traffic out.  Still have work to do on how we’d patrol and deter foot traffic from outsiders still if things start to elevate...

There is virtually no way a BLM/Antifa mob would dare to attempt such in my state (everybody has guns and our guns have guns) but damn near every homeowner here would do their best to kill the entire mob, even going so far as to pursue and eliminate survivors retreating.

False flag attacks on infrastructure, maybe including deaths, ascribed to right wingers is most likely.

Toe to toe they get destroyed.

Information warfare, narrative control is where the battle is taking place, NOW, already.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I posted a little bit up the thread that the news is promoting "militia violence" as the violence we'll see, despite what we have already seen.

It's already unpopular and even dangerous in some cases to publicly support Trump.

Let that sink in ...

Dupage County Illinois, former "Republican" stronghold and people are afraid to put Trump signs in their yard due to the threat of vandalism or WORSE.

Trump isn't even that right wing, what the left has in store for the real right is probably unthinkable.

First they must demonize.

It's OK to hunt and kill demons right?

It's OK to round up and arrest demons right?

That's the play I'm starting to see and expect if Biden somehow wins.

Whatever might or might not happen, sounds like it will be a busy shopping weekend. I don't need anything, but it's likely a good reminder to stay out of the city until after next Tuesday if I don't want to deal with crowds.

Interesting article about the strategy behind the last minute revelations of Joe Bidens corruption.

Readers digest version:

Full reveal of all the sordid details after Trump loses but before the electoral college votes.

Forcing the electors in the electoral college to refuse to elect Biden.

Interesting read if nothing else. Strap in, it's going to get bumpy.

Yeah, I don't know. They still nominated Joe, knowing he had bragged about doing the same thing Trump was "impeached" for.

Dunno the likelihood but it would certainly be interesting.

Electors cast votes for potus and Veep separately, thus there's a scant chance of a Trump/Harris admin.  We shall see if fate has a sense of humor.

This weekend I'm pulling another shotgun out of the safe and putting it downstairs along with a better choice of handgun (probably my Hi Power).

I'm also going to load up the magazine for the Sub 2000. I've not shot it yet, but the person whom I bought it from has vouched that it works great. If it doesn't and I get killed, I'll haunt him mercilessly.

Thinking seriously about putting a gun in the car even though taking a gun onto my company's property is a fireable offense.

Really don't think there will be problems in my neck of the woods, but I don't feel like taking chances.

Doesn't work if someone torches the whole building.

Depends on what you mean by "work".  Armed guards could keep them from getting out........

Well, here's something for you people in the DC area. Twitchy said they don't yet have a source for the video, but it's apparently a Zoom call with Shutdown DC. The woman in the video is well-known.

I can’t post images here for some reason (even with hotlinking) but over on the APS facebook group I posted a nice screenshot of Leftist Twitter warriors calling for rounding up Trump supporters and eliminating them. Responders to the tweet thought that might be going a bit too far but that blocking them from voting, seizing their property, and throwing them into “re-education camps” was the way to go.

Look at that *expletive deleted*it, along with other far left tweets calling for “Truth and Reconciliation” tribunals and tell me with a straight *expletive deleted*ing face we aren’t headed to a bloody civil war.

Good luck to you.  Hope you don't have to break in the Sub2000.

I’d recommend staying out of big cities the next few days especially if you have MAGA hats, Trump banners or flags on your vehicle/person.  Not that you shouldn’t support our Pres, but better not to draw attention to yourself unless you want to.

Sounds like a nice place - any properties up for sale there?  ;)

I'm in a suburb just west of Austin, TX, and I don't see much chance of a riot breaking out here . . . but I will be prepared. And I have reason to believe that at least some others will be prepared as well. I also don't see our mayor ordering the local constabulary to stand down. (That may not be the case in Austin proper.)

Plenty, problem is in/around the major city we have a ton of outsiders moving in that worry me in that they are from Blue strongholds. Houses sell in a couple hours and we are one of the fastest growing areas in America. We need every friend of freedom we can get to hold onto our freedom.

You are in aviation right? Lockheed just opened a new F-16 line here at the industrial airport/manufacturing complex plus they do a lot of other work.
