If Trump loses the election, but refuses to leave office, would you join the protests?


Im assuming massive protests would pop up over the country, if it turns out he loses the popular vote and the electoral vote....but claims its a hoax and refuses to leave.

Would you join in the protests? As ludicrous as the Trump presidency has been, do yall think hed actually refuse to leave after losing both the popular and electoral vote? I feel like hed be forced to step aside.

The military should remove him in that case. They serve the Constitution not the President. We'll see if that really would happen, though.

I have absolute faith that if he refused to leave after 1200 hours on January 20th that the Secret Service would do their job.

He would have no claim to the office after that date

While I'd expect Trump to be a petty bitch about it, I don't think even he's stupid enough to go that far. It's a funny meme, but it's kind of silly to turn him into even more of an evil caricature than he already displays.

Wouldn't white house security remove him? At that point he'd just be an intruder. I don't see why they wouldn't.

You dont think he has loyal secret service members on his side protecting him? Hell, he probably had his personal security before he was president hired into secret service to protect him.

I'm not sure. I'd like to keep myself out of harm's way, especially since COVID-19 will still be a problem, but if the more violent contingent of his supporters act out or other right-wing extremists looking to capitalize on the situation pull some shit, I'll probably be compelled to act.

I have no doubt the secret service would take him out. But I believe in the mean time he would try to start a war to keep himself in power.

Trump doesn't need to stay in the WH to maintain power. Every one of the dozens of judges he's appointed has their job for life if they want it. They'll be ruling any attempt to address climate change unconstitutional until we're all senior citizens.

This is fair. Fortunately the Supreme Court is leaning left. Democrats will need to win the senate and keep the house in order to counteract those judges hes appointed so far.

2 articles that are 3 years old? Dont see how this proves secret service is broken. Just because they run out of money doesnt mean more money isnt being constantly pumped in to help them out.

I guarantee you that he has some loyal secret service whove been protecting him since before he was president or running for president.

Broke, not broken. Also why would anyone be loyal to him when they have to PAY to protect him?

Because hes paying people off everywhere. Do you realize how many NDAs and pay outs hes given people to stay silent? He probably spends more money paying people off than he spends on anything else lmao

There is no chance he does this, but if he does I'll stay home. This kind of protest will be Civil War style shit, I want no part of that with out without the virus. I'd just wait for him to be dragged out. But as I said, this wouldn't happen. He'd be pissed and maybe try to rile his base up, but he won't refuse to leave.

Hope youre right. But trump wants chaos and disorder. He wants division. His whole platform was to drain the swamp, remember? To uproot the establishment.

Hes already proven how broken the US government is. Id assume his departure from it will follow the same path.

I imagine the protests for that sort of thing would be pretty damn heated and likely lead to arrests, possibly violence. I'd pass on them & just wait for someone-- secret service, federal marshals, whoever-- to remove him from the White House.
