I imagine it would be the typical over the top violence we're accustomed to from these knuckle draggers but I would accept that if it didn't mean we had to live with their choice for us as President.

As much as I'd like for this to happen I think it's a pipe dream, we really need to come up with a better plan than convince 37 Republican Electors to risk their lives (and the lives of their families) in order to stop Trump.

Most Republicans I know seem to be content to "ride out" his Presidency but that isn't an option for all of us. While they seem to think they have him under control I think he's just playing nice until he gets behind the desk at which point the magnitude of President Trump will be felt.
