That's why I've been worrying about the outcome of this thing, in spite of the polling numbers all being strongly in Hillary's favour - literal fascists generally don't just accept losing an election.

Trump's been riling up his supporters about the election being "rigged" since the DNC ended. Pat Buchanan hopped on board that train today, so you can expect the evangelicals to start banging on about it as well. You've got another three months of these people - who are paranoid and heavily armed as it is - having the idea drilled into their heads by their political and religious leaders that the ######s and ######s and towel-heads are stealing their country away, and the rhetoric has already shifted towards using any means necessary to take control again. There are going to be MAJOR fireworks come November, and I'm glad I won't be in the U.S. when it goes down.
