I'd hope that half of the Republican base tries to distance themselves from the rest.

Derail of the derail: what happened to the tea party? They were a thing but now they're not. I. Thought they'd be all over Trump and his loud brand of bullshit.

The less disgusting option honestly is anger at the unexpected loss. I just hope it doesn't become full on civil unrest. Depends on the loser's reaction.

Doing some quick research, the Tea Party fell into heavy decline after 2010. They got divided over who to support in the 2012 primary and have had the same negative reaction Trump has had from the GOP establishment. They still exist, but they're not really doing anything.

Trumps Base is what's left of the Tea Party, he's the biggest angriest dog that responded to all their dogwhistling. The fact that there are any Republicans surprised that Trump or someone like him would rise to prominence is kind of amazing in itself.

Since there are Trump signs in every third yard but I have only seen a total of maybe 1 Clinton yard sign, everyone will "know" that any result other than "Trump landslide" is clearly the result of rigging and will be a cue for them to take to the streets and Drain The Swamp

The reason you don't see any Clinton signs is that people are voting for her because they're just voting against trump, not for her. Also for the same reason you never hear anyone making the argument that the moon landings weren't faked.

Which hopefully will make the Trump defeat all that much entertaining/sad.

At least in October, affirmative-vote polls had Clinton doing just fine.

I think the signs are just more of a case that democrats realized yard-signs don't matter.

I see more Hillary signs than Trump signs when I'm driving around town here in Red State North Dakota, the only trump sign that I see on a daily basis is in front of this ramshackle run-down house on main street. There's a bunch of other republican signs but they're usually not accompanied by Trump.

On a podcast I heard, they said that there is a bumper sticker company that has operated since the 30's. The amount of political ones they sell for a candidate always translates to who wins. They had clinton selling some thing 2.5 x what trump had a month or so back.

This reminds me of an old daily show segment in which Rob Corddry went to a company who made racist and generally distasteful political bumper stickers and asked the owner what he told his children he did.

You know, I kind of hope that there are mass protests no matter who wins. Not violent ones, just have some goddamned conviction to your principles. If you think the election has been stolen (or that president-elect is about to send the world in a spiral of destruction) then get out there and register your displeasure.

Well yeah, even if they didn't pull the trigger, it's only natural to be a bit shaky when someone has been holding a gun to your head for months.

Yeah I'm not american so I find the whole bumper sticker thing pretty funny. It's still an interesting way of measuring public opinion. You would have thought that trump supporters would be all over that poo poo?

There was also something on the news by me saying that this company in China that makes cheap presidential masks always predicts the winner and they had sold like 20% more Trump masks than Clinton. One way or another one of the two companies is going to keep their streak alive!
