An ominous American future imagined

The implication behind this article is that any sort of unrest would be completely Donald Trump&#x27;s fault. But what people seem to forget is that Donald Trump has a reason for waiting to cede the presidency. Gore lost the election even though he got the popular vote. There were massive irregularities in the Democratic primaries, and the media has been biased and partisan, mostly in favor of Hillary Clinton, since the beginning.<p>I understand why some people are afraid of his hesitance. I hope they at least understand the reason he&#x27;s doing so.

This kind of hyperbole is ridiculous and very dangerous. Demonizing Trump&#x27;s followers plays into his rhetoric and further inflames political division. People were saying the same stuff during Cheney et al. and none of it came to pass.

&gt; police unions had become more and more explicit in aligning themselves with Trump and the militias.<p>Perhaps others have different perspectives on this, but my vision of a martial law future bills the police as supportive of the existing regime, from whence they draw their tax-funded salary, not a challenger whose installation would likely interrupt the same.

&quot;...sporadic left-wing violence...&quot; I think that was a typo. It should have read &quot;never ending left-wing violence&quot;

If this is our depressing future I prefer the one in Idiocracy.
