This was sent to several of us and I responded back so the second text is a response to what I wrote:

I've been trying to remain calm and kind of ignore things for a little bit but I'm really fired up and pissed off again tonight. Just saw an update a news conference through Fox News with Trump talking about not maybe relinquishing power if you loses the election and constantly acting like mail-in ballots is going to be nothing but a big fraud. Which is total b******* we've had mail in ballots for decades we've never had any widespread problems. U.s. mail handles two and a half BILLION pieces of mail every Christmas they can handle hundred million ballots for voting, even if half are mailed in .this whole thing is bull shit, this is what dictators do. When will the right and Christians stand up for what's right.. Before civil war breaks out. Damn I'm really pissed. Thanks for letting me vent, good night.


His second response. His son is in the military and I took out his name:

I agree, (took out name) is going to be home this weekend, I'm going to ask him about military contingency plans if this thing goes south. I don't know if Biden is our cure for everything but Trump is such a narcissistic asshole he's got to go.... He's a dumb fuck.. Sorry guys about the rank. I thought I was listening to sadam Hussain for a minute there..oh it was Trump

1. One vote at a time...nt

7. Semper

Semper Fidelis!!

[LiberalFighter]

12. And those votes add up.

And if they voted for Trump last time and now for Biden that is a 2 vote difference.

If they didn't vote in 2016 or voted for someone other than Trump or Clinton it is a 1 vote difference.

[Ahpook]

18. It is slow

But the walls are cracking one bit at a time. The only vocal person in my family is my aunt. Her language is definitely changing as this goon shows his colors.

Last time I talked to her she exclaimed that she still MAY vote for Trump because he is good for the economy. She is wealthy, though.

That is her interest!

19. Wealthy people do tend to drift to Repubs...

if you still think of Trump as a Repub, that is. Our parents' Repub party is dead now. It's all Trumpism now.

2. I want to shake that man's hand. He's got it.

[Joinfortmill]

3. Good

[Karadeniz]

4. Good news always welcome...I hope he screams his opinion far and wide!

5. What kind of workplace is this? Kind of industry?

If you can answer, you don't have to.

6. I sent you a PM. nt

8. Any plans for contingency would not be for public release, Ie classified,

if the son tells the dad, that’s a security breach.

21. Son is allowed to speculate.

Just as we all are.

9. What about now AGs in Conservative states like Texas charging bogus voter fraud and investigations.

It's all being set up right in front of our eyes. What we must realize is as passionate as we are so are they. Cons actually believe all this antifa and mail in ballot bullshit and now they are going to start charging people. The fastest way to snap people out of this madness is to deal with Fox. Fox is the problem. How about Lincoln Project going after them. Better yet, Bloomberg and Soros should buy News Corp.

10. Part of the pushback

to stop authoritarian fascism. People are aware of this maniac. He will exile in Dubai or A Black Sea resort.

13. Thank you for posting that.

For almost all of us, even if we are pretty enthusiastic about the person we're voting for, chances are there are at least several things we don't agree with them on. That's certainly been the case for me every time. But I have NEVER felt as if I'm voting for the lesser of two evils. In my years of voting, the Democratic candidate has ALWAYS been by far the better choice.

Again, thanks for sharing.

[not_the_one]

14. Now THAT gives me hope.

Thanks for posting it.

[warmfeet]

15. Yep.

That exactly.

16. During the transition from Tricky Dick to Gerald Ford,

we were brought into a room and read an explanation of what was going to happen.

If you are enlisted, you obey the authority over you.

If you are an officer, you do the same as the enlisted.

Civilian authority will deal with the tRump

17. Excellent! It was the ghost of Benito(Cheeto)

Mussolini your boss was listening to.. I hope more and more repubs see this!

20. What is more important is,... this is NOT the only conservative who believes this.

I believe that Trump has pissed off many who would normally vote for the Republican Party. We have
seen many videos, and we have heard many stories like this before, and will hear more.
....Millions of independents agree with, "He's a dumb fuck."

.....How do I know? ...look at Trump's approval ratings. Normally it would be close to 50% this close to an election for Republican or Democratic President ..(or more than 50%)

Trump is very steady at 40% approval. Ain't enough to get elected, and with his current rhetoric, it is
my opinion that it will ...NOT IMPROVE.

22. "When will the right and Christians stand up for what's right.."

Excuse me sir, aren't you on the right? Are you standing up?

(Possibly he is of course - Republican Voters Against Trump* has a lot ov ery outspoken videos made by people on the right.)

[Aussie105]

23. Trump is his own worst enemy.

If he had said 'Sure, if I lose the vote, I will leave quietly!'

Most people would then have thought that it was a foregone conclusion, and relaxed about actually voting or not.

Instead, he blabs it out: Going to devalue the vote, argue the results, bunker down in the White House if things don't go his way.

Peoples' response? TRUMP IS THREATENING TO TURN FULL ON DICTATOR! Can't have that, got to VOTE!!!!!

But, Trump, he of NO brain-to-mouth filter, and out of the mouths of babies and senile old people . . .
