it seems like we're getting closer and closer to a civil war due to political polarization nowadays it's easier than ever to lock yourself in a safe space where you hype each other up into believing the other side is literally evil embodied (Republicans are literally gun toting nazis who want to gun down everyone who isn't a white Protestant, Democrats are literally selling out the country to minorities and want to take away your guns in the name of political correctness while forcing you to get abortions) it's fucked and without a way to combat these circlejerks, this is just going to get worse [editline]16th October 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Zillamaster55;51212638]Keeping a knife on me from now on[/QUOTE] you wont do shit with a knife if you're attacked other than look scary
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;51212638]Keeping a knife on me from now on[/QUOTE] honestly, if you're scared you should go get a concealed carry, if your state allows it
Why do I feel like we're heading into a civil war with this fucking election? There's just so much fucking division.

honestly can't say i'm as pessimistic as FP on this whole thing
I hope that the National Guard and state police will be protecting polling locations on November 8th. I'm glad I'm voting absentee but I am afraid that there will be mass violence in/around polling places with the incredibly high voter turnout expected this year.

There might be one or two instances of violence but the vast majority of people are too chickenshit to do anything
Have all elections had high levels of insane shit going on on the down low or is this the first election where there is a chance of serious violence and protests no matter who wins?

[QUOTE=Rocko's;51212799]Have all elections had high levels of insane shit going on on the down low or is this the first election where there is a chance of serious violence and protests no matter who wins?[/QUOTE] Closest thing we have is the 1876 election: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1876[/URL] [QUOTE] After a first count of votes, Tilden won 184 electoral votes to Hayes's 165, with 20 votes unresolved. These 20 electoral votes were in dispute in four states. In the case of Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina, each party reported its candidate had won the state, while in Oregon one elector was replaced after being declared illegal for being an "elected or appointed official". The question of who should have been awarded these electoral votes is the source of the continued controversy concerning the results of this election. An informal deal was struck to resolve the dispute: the Compromise of 1877, which awarded all 20 electoral votes to Hayes. In return for the Democrats' acquiescence to Hayes's election, the Republicans agreed to withdraw federal troops from the South to end the Reconstruction Era of the United States. This is also the first election in which a candidate for president received more than [B]50 percent of the popular vote, but was not elected president by the Electoral College[/B], and one of four elections (in addition to 1824, 1888, and 2000) in which the person who won the most popular votes did not win the election. To date, it remains the election that recorded the smallest electoral vote victory and the election that yielded the [B]highest voter turnout of the eligible voting age population[1][2] in American history, at 81.8%.[/B][/QUOTE]
How could anyone justify this holy SHIT
[QUOTE=Rocko's;51212799]is this the first election where there is a chance of serious violence and protests no matter who wins?[/QUOTE] The 1860 election was rather divisive. Jokes aside, I don't think that things have been this volatile for a while.

At first I was of the opinion that I should buy a gun if trump wins (due to enormous riots), but now I thin k I might want to buy one regardless of whom wins.

We need to be cutting the population differently. It's not a left vs right thing, the crazies should be in their own half, and the rest of us that don't want people to get hurt should be on the other half.
[QUOTE=Guriosity;51212832]Werent the 60s and 70s a bit disruptive?[/QUOTE] boomers who lived through it like to use it as an excuse to not do anything to disarm this firebomb. "Oh its bad but its not as bad as the 1960s" remember when everybody was certain there was going to be bloodshed in cleveland this summer? just because we avoided that doesn't mean we should ever be at the point where we're certain there is going to be riots

[QUOTE=Sableye;51212453]no its not, not usually in america. usually the person that looses conceeds that they didnt run the right campaign and that everything is over, we have fucking brownshirt trump now telling people to go intimidate voters at the polls, that the system is rigged, convinced that he is going to win by a landslide, and promisses that he will not accept anything but a victory. that is not usual behavior in the US[/QUOTE] Extremist elements from both sides have promised violence if their desired candidate doesn't win. Black Lives Matter said they will start nation-wide riots if Hillary doesn't win. Individual Trump supporters have called for everything from from assassination to revolution. Either way, the Police and the National Guard may have a busy week.
