I've seen a cute conspiracy theory that both candidates are playing along to drag the result out as long as possible so all those low attention span rioters waiting to set cities on fire get bored and go home.

What could happen is a general decides to go for coup instead.

They get shot.

This is what I feel is much more likely.

I also feel like violence becomes more likely as the tension builds, which plays right into the “establishment’s” hand.

If he could somehow get the people to support him in going against the two party system, then we'd be on the fast-track to solving this stuff. Unfortunately, I know of no US general who isn't a warmonger, friend of the globalists.

LOL. So naive. A coup means a general would take the leadership and declare martial law. The US would become a dictatorship. You must be university educated.

Oh, I never said I believed we have any good generals. Yes, most of the time coups happen, you get dictatorships. We already live under a fledgling global empire. I would take a dictatorship if the leader was level-headed and not a racist/prejudiced pig.

I never said that I thought this could happen, or that I wanted it. Just that I think a level-headed general taking over the political apparatus then calling for investigations and setting up civilians to be able to audit their government would be the quickest way. If not a general, then the public would have to do this. It would be easier if a general helped the public. That's all I meant.

Fuck, saidit has gotten really aggressive. You guys are silly.

You really should read Dictators Handbook.

Trump is still commander-in-Chief of the military. Wait, what time is it?
