No Matter Who Wins In 2020, There Will Be Blood

No Matter Who Wins In 2020, There Will Be Blood

The machinations of an illiberal left, on display in its ever-
increasing violence accompanied by the ululations of a propagandist
media in contravention of an imaginary “white supremacist” right,
have riven the nation into diametrically opposed camps. 

The right will never accept socialism, while the left will accept
nothing less.

Trump Wins

Those on the left will not allow a Trump victory, even should
he win the popular vote and the Electoral College. 

They are used to getting what they want and like spoiled brats,
have learned that tantrums work. 

Should Donald Trump prevail in his bid for a second term, the left
will go insane, deploying every “insurance policy” weapon at their
disposal to negate four more years of the Orange Man. 

What Obama, Comey, and Brennan et al. did to Trump in his first
term will seem mild in comparison to what the left is planning
should he win.

Antifa, the military arm of the Democratic Party, has not spent
the last three years practicing and organizing merely to sit on
the sidelines. 

They have used the interregnum to mobilize and learn tactics,
while probing to find what government will allow, media will
trumpet, and the public will endure.

The skirling “resistance” has morphed from pajama-boy blobs
of perpetually offended little dictators and pussy-hat sporting
shriekers into balaclava-wearing avengers who crave the
opportunity to put deplorables in their place and give them
the government they deserve good and hard. 

They will flood the streets after a Trump victory in their Antifa
costumes looking to bust the heads of anyone near enough to
become part of their 15 minutes of YouTube fame.

It will start in the cities -- the Democrat-run cities, of course --
where the political leadership will provide them a measure of
protection against identification and arrest. 

Seattle, Portland, LA, San Francisco, NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, Boston,
and Baltimore, among others, will become flashpoints of unrest. 

The riots will be portrayed by the media and the Democrats
as a groundswell of support for deposing a racist president. 

They will bemoan the necessity of the violence, destruction, and
loss of life, but remind Americans that “the people have spoken.” 

Some among the Antifa will be championed. 

In lockstep, both the New York Times and the Washington Post
will run headlines calling them: “The New Founding Fathers.” 

People who fight back will quickly grow in number -- even as
the media label them “white supremacists.” 

Blood will be spilled.

China, Iran, Russia, and Venezuela will plead for calm and offer
to mediate the evolving humanitarian crisis… 

Trump Loses

The right will never believe the Democrats didn’t cheat their way
to victory; in addition to understanding that a Democratic President
will un-democratically implement policies by executive order that
are inimical to their interests and desires.

Many on the right are weary of leaders who prioritize good press
over good policy, and who prefer losing gracefully over winning
ugly. 

They believe they did build that and that they have not yet made
enough money and are fed up with being portrayed as ignorant and
evil just because of political disagreements. 

Eight years of Obama and three years of watching his slow-motion
coup have made them angry.

Tone-deaf to this silent majority and emboldened by victory,
the new president will borrow Barry’s “pen and phone” and
start issuing executive orders throwing open our borders,
banning fossil fuels, and of course, implementing “common
sense” gun control. 

Buoyed by media, the new president will start with universal
background checks and a gun registry. 

Eventually, the president will overreach, signing an order for
gun confiscation, euphemistically called, “mandatory buybacks.” 

Antifa and their ilk will flood the streets in support of seizing
these “weapons of war.” 

Media will declare, “It’s the will of the people.”

And for the right, that will be the last straw (plastic or paper).

The left doesn’t understand that every gun owner is a single-
issue-voter; millions will refuse to give up their guns. 

And, many gun owners in this country will not go “meekly into
the night,” there will be “rage” against what they will see as a
usurpation of their constitutional rights. 

Confiscation will go well at first, with gun owners in the cities
acquiescing to the knock on the door in the middle of the night
and the intimidation of, “Papers please.”

But in flyover country, a different scenario will play out. 

Most gun owners will hide their weapons and most local police
departments will accept that, not wanting to jail their neighbors. 

Resistance will be broad, perhaps encompassing hundreds
of millions of Americans. 

Barack Obama, for once in the dismal history of his efforts
to kill the America we love, will be proven correct. 

Americans do “cling to their guns.” 

The media will call it “white supremacy,” but a still unregulated
internet will be rife with videos of an out of control government
battling its own citizens. 

The president will call for mobilizing the National Guard. 

Some governors will refuse, and army units now overseas
will be sent home to deal with the growing unrest. 

Mistakes will be made and there will be gunfire in the streets;
people will die on both sides. 

The  president will desperately call for martial law. 

Many Army, National Guard, and Police will defect, or desert,
or simply refuse orders. 

What will happen after that is anybody's guess.
