Are you concerned about the morning of Wednesday, November 7, 2018, regardless of who wins control of the House, Senate, governorships, state legislatures, etc. over potential protests or "unrest" as Trump is claiming?

MIDTERM elections are different than presidential elections, the outparty has a chance to rebuild itself from defeat.  Dems have a chance by putting Gillum, Abrams and Beto, into power, that can boost the Y2K generation, aside from the right wing Kavanaugh judgeship, that will surpass the right wing agenda, and move the country forward into a new decade.

If Democrats don't make substantial victories across the country, then I would lose all faith in this country.

True.
Will most Americans pay attention though?

Midterm electorates are different than presidential.

Yep. My "faith meter" is already at critical levels.

Nah. This question presumes that the protesters matter.

My worry is that Trump will announce that he is inviting in the Russians to conduct a "peacekeeping operation."



And then the inevitable announcement that "in respect for our Russian guests, we have decided to postpone implementation of the election results. A new transitional authority, which shall retain special authority 'for the time being' has been created and put under the supervision of our guests. The nature and authority of the transitional authority will be elucidated further in the coming days, however one immediate action is that Robert Mueller has been fired and his investigation terminated. Thank you, and God bless America."

Worried? Not so much. It will more be either hope or utter despair.

I'm basically expecting violence from the right if Dems win to the point that I'm going to go out in public as little as possible for the week after.

4th, you could've looked this up in seconds.

I don't think protests will be substantial if there's a Democratic wave (>+30 seat gain in the House) but they might be if there isn't.

I'm basically expecting violence from the anti-American left, whether they win or lose.

I turn 21 that day and most of close friends will probably not realize the 6th was an election day, so I figure I can take my mind off of bad results.

I'm afraid of what the left will do if they don't win the House. They're not well armed, but I feel like something drastic... like openly abandoning allegiance to the U.S.

All I know is, s*(t gonna get violent if it isn't a #RedWave.

And if it's a #BlueWave, well remember how 2012 wasn't a continuation of 2010? Or how 1996 wasn't more of '94?

2016 didn't do that for you? If Democrats make enormous gains, I might gain some faith back, though I know that some people could be voting against the Republicans (after voting for them) for the wrong reasons.

Are we suppose to believe that one can simultaneously post on atlas and leave their home once in a while?
