LIFE LESSONS ABOUT POLITICS & PRIVILEGE
The Hypothetical Hellhole that Could Be the 2020 Election
What if the opposite of 2016 happens in November? What if Trump wins the popular vote but loses in the Electoral College?
What if the guy, who from his own mouth professed to “grab them by the pussy” and who has been accused of sexual assault by some 25 women, wins the popular vote but loses in the Electoral College to the guy accused of grabbing one woman by the pussy.
How do you think that will play out in the red states? Let me tell you what I think will happen. Trump supporters will use their 2nd Amendment Rights to attempt to disrupt the election.
Why do these mostly “macho men” think they need semi-automatic and anti-tank weapons to protest social distancing because they need a GD haircut and to drink with their buddies?
Suddenly, in the USA, it is not only “survival of the fittest” but “might makes right”? They’d just as soon kill off grandma and grandpa as long as they can do whatever the hell they want.
I guess they didn’t read where those living with diabetes are more at risk of morbidity from COVID-19. I’m just saying; I saw the pictures.
Why is it their president gets away with inciting insurrection on Twitter in states like Michigan, Minnesota, and Virginia with his “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!”
This is, in my opinion, a prelude to his having to announce the imposition of martial law in November after he loses to stay in power.
I’ll tell you this right now, as a 28-year US Army Veteran, I fear for the United States of America.
