It seems we are on the verge of a civil war and resistance would certainly be justified if a left wing coup overthrowing our Constitutional Government took place. The question to me is how would it play out. In our first civil war the (at the time) strong State governments provided structure for armed resistance to coalesce around. That sort of structure no longer exists. Armed resistance can coalesce around religions or ethnic groups but there is no religious basis for that to happen in the U.S. and for white people there is no ethnic solidarity for it to happen. If things get bad our only real hope is for the military to defend the Constitution as their oath demands.

If they have to take time off from work, you can be assured that they will be very angry for having to do so, and heavily armed. Those who don't have a job will find out what happens when you bite the hand that is feeding you. Also, those who are supporting our government as designed by the founders and the constitution will have to remember that news outlets are also part of the "enemy" and will have to be dealt with swiftly.
Personally I hope it doesn't come down to any more violence than we have already seen by the cry-baby hypocrite losers, the ones who mocked Trump for not being willing to accept results during debate 3.
No... the Hildebeast is actually a T-800 model Terminator.
When the Broomstick crashed and burned, all her clothing and flesh burned off, but the metal endoskeleton survived and is angrier than ever.
Supposedly, The Beast also uploaded a copy of Linux as her OS in place of Windows 10 (so she wouldn't randomly crash and make embarrassing random head movements).

After today, it's all historical.
We have active and retired military personnel who could (and would) provide leadership to an untrained militia (i.e. us).
Also, our active military personnel are American citizens. They may know how to wipe out foreign enemies, but WE are THEM.
I do not believe for an instant that our military would turn against it's own people (aside from a very small number of brainwashed few - who would no doubt be quickly dealt with).

Coworker told me that in the scenario you described the election is decided by congress which is Republican controlled in both houses. If true Trump still becomes POTUS unless all the Republicans vote for Clinton which would seem to mean their congressional careers would be over with the next election
I see this as more a way to tarnish Trump's victory than an effective method to alter the election.

OK, here's how I see it.
The pissed off conservative/working class/tax paying/patriot Americans are happy to have won the election and are watching everything going on and enjoying every new announcement and cabinet announcement being put out by Trump. Indeed, as was stated up-thread, I think we are all still a little bit shocked by the victory. But the point is, we are happy to watch the system work at this point.
The libtards are experiencing an extended temper tantrum with their leadership taking advantage of the situation to raise as much money as they can before Trump gets going full speed and shuts their corruption down.
Nothing will come of any of the riots or recounts or any of their little BS moves. They know it and are simply doing it to get as much "leverage" as they can before Trump is inaugurated. The left has gotten very good at creating opportunities to suck money out of the fear and chaos.
This will all die down and once Trump gets fully established and his cabinet starts to work, we will see some real action.
I do expect that there will be new temper tantrums thrown for each major reform that he institutes. But it will get old and eventually those too will die. People are already sick and tired of the nonsense...

California will NEVER secede. Despite what you think. there are still tons of Californians who are not lunatics. 38% of the state voted RED. Since they need 3/4th vote and approval of the state houses, it will never happen. Even blue state Dems, who are not fucking nuts, realize that it's idiotic to break away from the USA. The CalExit petition can't even get on the state Ballot until 2018. Believe me, that's a long time and the attention span of libtard millenials isn't THAT LONG. Also you need approval of the REST OF THE STATES nowadays to legally secede. California and New York provide the MAJORITY Of the revenue to run the federal government. Also California can't exist without the infrastructure, bureaucracy, military, or other Federal agencies and services. The US would not want to give up several of the BIGGEST seaports for PACIFIC trade, as well as the food from the breadbasket that is Central California.
This entire secession thing is bullshit .... the problem is that this libtard 'temper tantrum' being treated 'with respect' by the Mainstream Libtard Media, rather than being ridiculed for being idiotic and immature, like it should be.
Just read this great editorial about how stupid not-a-queen clinton is. When she so graciously conceded defeat by calling Trump, he was so moved by what sounded like a sincere person that he was thinking about not perusing an indictment against her. Agreeing with the editorial, he handed her a "get out of jail free" card. With her burning that card by agreeing to the recounts, it would not surprise me to see Trump let the legal dogs loose on her once he takes the oath.
Good reading on how stupid "the smartest woman in the world" really is:

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/pe...rticle/2608305Jill Stein has everything she needs to launch a presidential recount. She's got the cash, the grassroots fervor and the spotlight of an adoring media. But there's one thing she needs to overturn Trump's victory: a calendar.
Stein missed Pennsylvania's deadline to file for a voter-initiated recount.
On secession, I was of the thought that it required the consent of 2/3 of the states but started doing some reading the other night. Apparently there is no framework in the constitution for a state to leave the union. It sounded like there was a supreme court case after the civil war and the jist was that legally the secession never happened because there is no framework to do it. I guess with the 2/3 vote you could do a re write of the consortium and pass and amendment and as a result of said amendment you are out. I believe what there is a framework for is splitting a state and that would require a 2/3 vote
