Will the most divisive campaign in modern American history culminate in massive riots in our major cities? Right now, supporters of Barack Obama and supporters of Mitt Romney are both pinning all of their hopes on a victory on November 6th. The race for the presidency is extremely tight, and obviously the side that loses is going to be extremely disappointed when the election results are finalized. But could this actually lead to violence? Could we actually see rioting in communities all over America? Well, the conditions are certainly ripe for it. A whole host of surveys over the past few years have shown that Americans are very angry and very frustrated right now. In fact, a Pew Research Center poll from late last year found that 86 percent of all Americans are either angry or frustrated with the federal government. We have seen this frustration manifest in protest movements such as the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street, but right now things are fairly calm as liberals and conservatives both look forward to November 6th. Many Republicans started the countdown to the next election literally the day after John McCain lost back in 2008. All of their hopes of getting Obama out of the White House are riding on a Romney victory. For many Democrats, Barack Obama is a “once in a generation” icon. Just the thought of Mitt Romney replacing Obama in the White House is enough to push many of them to the brink of insanity. In recent years we have seen horrible rioting erupt in cities after major sports championship games. How much worse could the rioting potentially be if this bitterly contested election is decided by a very narrow margin – especially if there are allegations that the election is “stolen”?
The election is nearly four weeks away, and many Obama supporters are already threatening to riot if Obama loses. The following are some very disturbing messages that were posted on Twitter recently that have been reposted on Twitchy.com….
“If Romney wins I’m Starting a Riot….Who’s WIT ME???”
“I Hope The USA Is Well Aware That If In The Event This Character Romney Wins The Election, The People Will Start A Country Wide Riot! #Power”
“If Romney is elected president, its gon be a riot its gon be a riot.”
“If ROMNEY GETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE …U MIGHT AS WELL KILL ME NOW …..CAUSE ITS GONNA BE A ************ RIOT !!!”
“If Romney became President and took away welfare Downtown Cincinnati would become a riot”
“If Romney takes away food stamps 2 Chainzz in this bit IMMA START A RIOT”
“If Romney wins. (which i highly doubt) THERE WILL BE A RIOT—”
The following are a few more tweets that I found which threaten a potential riot if Obama loses the election….
From @joecools_world….
“Need 2 come up wit a game plan if Romney win…. Riot all thru Newark”
From @killacate….
“I swear on everything I love if Romney wins ima riot. I don’t even care if its just me.”
Romney supporters are not really threatening to riot, but many of them are proclaiming that they may leave the country if Obama wins. Here are some examples….
From @BrentskiTheBoss….
“If Obama gets reelected I may leave the country”
From @AbbieFickes….
“im sorry but if obama were to win again, i might as well leave the country and live in zimbabwe”
This presidential campaign has been getting increasingly heated, and individuals on both sides have been committing some despicable acts.
For example, in a previous article I mentioned that some Romney campaign signs down in Virgina have been smeared with excrement.
Over in Ohio, a huge pile of manure was dumped right in front of Warren County Democratic headquarters early on Tuesday morning….
Volunteers at the Warren County Democratic headquarters, just north of Cincinnati, were shocked and disappointed by a political prank unloaded on them early Tuesday morning – someone dumped a pile of horse manure in the parking lot of the headquarters building on US 42, just north of Lebanon.
It appears that both sides have resorted to literally slinging crap around.
There is so much hate in America today, and this campaign is bringing a lot of it to the surface. It is even being reported that a bus driver told a 12-year-old boy that he should have been aborted because his family has a Romney campaign sign in their yard….
Belling read a letter from the 12-year-old boy’s mother, detailing the alleged abusive behavior by the bus driver.
Apparently, the Romney-Ryan yard sign bugs the bus driver and she’s been harassing the boy, making rude comments to him related to politics.
When the driver engaged the 12-year-old boy in a political conservation, he responded by saying that Obama is pro-abortion.
The bus driver allegedly said to the child, “Maybe your mom should have chosen abortion for you.”
How sick is that?
You can strongly disagree with someone without being mean and without being hateful.
Right now, the United States is a bubbling cauldron of frustration and anger that could be set off at any moment. This election could potentially be a “trigger point” which could end up unleashing a lot of that anger and frustration.
Already, there have been allegations that the Republicans have been committing voter registration fraud. Democrats are furious about this.
Evidence has also emerged that Democrats have been willing to assist voters in registering to vote in two different states. The following is from a recent article by Mac Slavo….
When undercover reporters visited various locations across the country they received the same response from Obama campaign staffers – that it’s basically okay to vote multiple times if you happen to be registered in two or more states.
In Houston, Texas, for example, the Project Veritas reporter made her intentions known, and rather than being rebuffed for her planned illegal activity, she was provided assistance with obtaining the proper forms to be registered in two states and was told to say “I don’t know” if the double-voting ever became an issue.
Similar situations unfolded at other DNC funded community organizations.
It appears quite probable that whichever side loses this election will accuse the other side of stealing the election.
And if millions of Americans feel that the election has been stolen from them, that will make it much more likely that we will see rioting.
Keep your ears open for phrases such as “voter fraud” and “election fraud” following this election. People are so angry already that even allegations that someone stole the election could be enough to set the streets of America on fire.
As always, let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst.

Good grief!
The next riot in the US is when Detroit Red Wings win the Stanley Cup. If this happens 20 years from now that will be the next riot. There will be riots in Canada first.
Americans are too old and fat to riot.
Perhaps many of the Romney supporters are too old and too fat, but a lot of Obama supporters are young and angry.
Michael
Most Obama fans are to damn lazy to riot, or to stupid.
The commie Obammie supporters would riot at the tip of a hat. I am glad I am not part of that babied, entitlement demanding, nanny state loving, hate rationalizing group. I believe in freedom and hard work, which used to make America great.
[…] Another great “Food for Thought” article from Mike Snyder! […]
I don’t think riots will be a problem as long as “Dancing with the Stars” is on TV. That and “Jersey Shore”. So it’s a bad night for me to riot since my Football game is on.
But IF they cut one cent of my Food Stamp money or cut my Disability check by once cent I will hit the bricks with my sign. Gotta have your priorities uh?
Michael,
In the Trunews radio program on 4 October,on which you were interviewed, Rick Wiles referred to an earlier program in September 2010. I searched for but didn’t find that program; as their web site doesn’t list programs for that long ago. I sent them an e-mail requesting a link; but they have yet to respond.
Fellow bloggers, possible riots, as Michael mentions HERE, were mentioned on that 4 October radio program. Give it a listen.
Another scenario which could potentially set things off would be if there is a 269 to 269 electoral college tie (which is entirely possible).
Michael
99% of the hate is on the Democratic side. I have doubts that the election will even take place. I expect a staged financial collapse, martial law, and cancelled elections.
Fellow bloggers, pour yourself a beverage and do a web search for ” Martial Law in US ” and view the many videos you’ll find. I already have …
I do believe if Romney wins there will be riots. The Nanny State is too large and the HATE runs deep and until that Hate is purged the country will never return to its former greatness. It all comes down to, how much blood will be spilled. Guess your political signs on your front lawn might save you after the election.
It’s overwhelmingly the Dims who threaten violence if their guy loses. Problem is, if they start this fight, they’ll lose: Conservatives (i.e. Romney supporters) are the gun owners in this country, not the libs. If/when “riots” break out, they’d be well advised to avoid going into people’s homes. “Tolerance” ends when these people kick in front doors. Whom do you think has been buying weapons and ammo for the last four years? Not endorsing it, but you’re foolish if you think it couldn’t happen.
QUESTION: Supposing the third duo on the Prez list won, and both BO and MR lost. THen both sides might be too stunned and shocked to riot. They would just stand there with bottles and sticks in their hands, their eyes would be rounded, and their chins drop on the sidewalk.
If both these guys are so bad, then why doesn’t the majority go for the third couple running?
My Prediction:
There will not be any riots, but Micheal is still on to something.
This election is adding fuel to the proverbial fire once the right spark sets it in motion.
But the spark will not be Obama losing.
Instead, look forward to the George Zimmerman trial and other racially charged incidents.
If you live in South Florida, I’d suggest making some travel arrangements before they reach a verdict on that case!
Does anyone know when that trial is projected to end?
Michael
They fret and worry over voter fraud yet the best way to help prevent it IS to require legitimate identification such as a driver’s license – and practically everyone of voting age has one, so it would not or should not be a “hardship” to provide it as proof – yet they scream bloody murder that it ‘may’ violate someone’s rights because they have to prove who they are in order to vote and that they are eligible to vote.
Makes no sense to not settle that issue as soon as possible, but maybe some folks are taking to heart and living for that old saying that floated around Chicago for years, “Vote early, vote often!”
As to the possibility of rioting in America after the election… the lying, liberal, convoluting-the-issues American mass media will help fan the flames of discontent for whichever is the losing side… so be prepared for the possibility of that happening since it, apparently, would not take too much to set some folks off.
Taxpayer-Funded University Professor Calls for Public Uprising Posted on October 1, 2011

I agree with everything you write Michael. I am a new reader to your blog but much of what you say I have been trying to tell people about for a year or more. The SSA is not ordering hollow point bullets for fun. The military is not running ops in major cities like Chicago for fun. I have an idea for an upcoming post for you: I would like to read about your take on the massive regulations and other things like taxes that are being held back right now until after the election and how whether win or lose Obama could do much greater harm for a full term or with a lame duck finish.
I will have to start rolling those ideas around in my head.
It is true that if Obama wins he will be a “lame duck” and will feel no accountability to the voters any longer.
Michael
Riots?
I don’t know anyone who CARES who wins.
I predict that if Romney wins there will be some level of violent civil disorder which may quality as a riot in some minority communities. Depending upon the response to these disturbances it will determine if they grow or fade away. A heavy hand may rally more participants especially if it occurs along with another economic shock. Too weak of a response may encourage the actors to graduate from political disturbance into looting riot. A lame duck President would more likely support the latter stance although most of this is the responsibility of City and State Government.
Regardless I suggest removing the Romney bumper sticker if he wins. The point is moot and there is no sense putting a bulls eye on your automobile.
Good tip about the bumper stickers Kevin.
Michael
Very good tip about the bumper stickers.
I wonder if this is why the Social Security Admin. ordered all of those hollow point bullets!
We may have riots but, not at my place.
Hell, Obama could win… I don’t think it much matters anymore. Romney/Ryan will manage the decline and Obama will run right into it.
Either way, I’m having an election party over at my place… either we’ll whoop and holler for a Romney win or we’ll just drink even more and listen carefully to the death rattles of our former country.
LOL, I better not see anyone coming down my street with their gat…. hahah
They’ll be in the WRONG place if they’re on my property. I don’t have any obama phones.
Every single thing that is happening now can be understood in light of Bible prophecy. America’s ONLY hope is in following the words of Jesus, “If my people, who are called by My name will humble themselves, and Pray, and seak My face, then will they hear from heaven…and I will HEAL THEIR LAND” God is still in charge and prayer changes things!!!!!
Very good verse brother. I have it as my signature on my favorite forum.
Honestly, God is allowing us to destroy ourselves. We have seen that removing God from our schools and the public arena what occurred. Look at Europe and you will see how it was the greatest source of Christianity the world has ever known. They opted to leave and God said no problem. We can now see what has been the result. America if you haven’t figured it out yet. We need to return to the Bible and learn from it. My the Lord and God, Jesus Christ, be with you.
Talk from the leftwing loons is cheap.
There will be no riots when B. Hussein Obama loses.
As has been posted above, it is common knowledge that the vast, vast majority of the hate in this country comes from liberals who are notoriously rabid and viciously hateful. They spew their vitriol at anybody who dares to exercise their right to free speech.
Whatever, let the Commys and the welfare slugs riot. Let the billy clubs, teargas and fire hoses rock! Grab the popcorn.
There will be riots by Obama supporters if Obama wins (similar to those for a winning football team). But there will be even more violent, prolonged, and widespread rioting by Obama supporters if Obama loses. These riots will start in the slums and inner city areas of our largest and poorest cities. Some may spread to the burbs. Rioters will be comprised mostly of young blacks, college students, unemployed, unions, and instigated and promoted by leftists/communists/Islamists of all races and ages.
Conservatives, on the other hand, will 1) if Obama wins, be non-violent but defensive, and, as the article indicates, some of the more wealthy will leave the country – escape – jump ship, as is occuring in over-taxing nations of Europe. 2) If Obama loses, there will be no violent celebrations from conservatives – just relief and retooling our activism so that such an Obama-like national fiasco does not occur again in our lifetimes.
