[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering what DC will be like following the election. One of the shopkeepers in NWDC told me last week that they’d been told by DC authorities to consider boarding up their windows and/or closing for a couple of days just to be safe. Unfortunately, there will probably be some level of unrest regardless of who wins. But will it get destructive and dangerous? Downtown or into the burbs? Curious as to what others think.[/quote]

It could be a turbulent few months. If Biden wins big, then the wind is taken out of Trump's sails a bit. He can moan, groan, and complain, but he has a weak foundation upon which to cause or stir real trouble. If Biden wins narrowly, then the prospects for some violence from the right go up, as Trump will use a narrow victory to accuse election theft.

If Trump wins, then there will be widespread violence from the left. Thankfully, I think that's the least likely scenario at the moment.

This is life in a failed state, unfortunately.

D.C. will certainly be targeted. The suburbs probably less so. But any post-election violence will not be limited to Washington. We'll see it coast to coast -- primarily in urban centers.[/quote]
