The Atlantic - Law-and Order Republican better vote for Biden or cities will be destroyed

victimhood = secular sainthood

It does show you the insane workings of the Leftist mind. The article appears to be directed at Republicans in a lame attempt to convince them to vote for Biden. But of the very few Republicans that would read this shit, even fewer would find the argument persuasive.

Extortion.
They might as well just come out and say 'vote for us or we will kill you'
Good luck with that campaign slogan Democrats.

The Atlantic makes The National Inquire look like is a bastion of truth and journalistic integrity.

These morons are really trying to sell this shit? That Dems are such children they won't be able to process a Trump win so Republicans should just give them what they want to stop the crying?


The Democrats May Not Be Able to Concede

If Trump wins, especially after losing the popular vote, the left may draw the wrong conclusions.

This is the era of expecting the worst while hoping for the merely tolerable. Some might say that the worst is already happening—economic disaster and 190,000 dead from a pandemic—while the president and his surrogates insist, in a feat of self-delusion, that the “best is yet to come.” As someone who has argued against catastrophism—I don’t believe Donald Trump is a fascist or a dictator in the making, and I don’t believe America is a failed state—I find myself truly worried about only one scenario: that Trump will win reelection and Democrats and others on the left will be unwilling, even unable, to accept the result.

A loss by Joe Biden under these circumstances is the worst case not because Trump will destroy America (he can’t), but because it is the outcome most likely to undermine faith in democracy, resulting in more of the social unrest and street battles that cities including Portland, Oregon, and Seattle have seen in recent months. For this reason, strictly law-and-order Republicans who have responded in dismay to scenes of rioting and looting have an interest in Biden winning—even if they could never bring themselves to vote for him.

In presidential elections, once is a fluke; twice is a pattern. I struggle to imagine how, beyond utter shock, millions of Democrats will process a Trump victory. A loss for Biden, after having been the clear favorite all summer, would provoke mass disillusion with electoral politics as a means of change—at a time when disillusion is already dangerously high. If Democrats can’t beat a candidate as unpopular as Trump during a devastating pandemic and a massive economic contraction, then are they even capable of winning presidential elections anymore? Democracy, after all, is supposed to self-correct after mistakes, particularly mistakes as egregious as electing Donald Trump—whose unfitness for the nation’s highest office makes itself apparent with almost every passing day.

"vote for us or we will burn your town"

sounds like fascism to me.

(((The Atlantic)))

This is EXTORTION.

Trump spent he's campaign money on provocateurs.

The democrat party is run by dark occult Satanic pedophiles who go to spirit cooking parties.

Libtards just keep saying the same stupid shit.

They're too fucking stupid to know any better.

That's why they are libtards. Because they can't figure out anything and believe whatever they're told.

You illustrate this point precisely.

The Atlantic is known toilet paper.

I won't click on that rag of a paper.
