Left Mobilizes for ‘Mass Public Unrest,' ‘Political Apocalypse' Expected If Biden Loses
[Breitbart] A coalition of leftist groups is "secretly" discussing how to mobilize and prepare for what it envisions as a "political apocalypse" full of violence and chaos if Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden fails to win a landslide victory on November 3, the Daily Beast reported Monday.

"Occupy shit, hold space, and shut things down, not just on Election Day but for weeks," an unnamed source said in describing the coalition’s effort, dubbed the "Democracy Defense Nerve Center."
Over the course of two hours, participants broached the question of what the progressive political ecosystem can functionally do in a series of election scenarios. They began charting out what it would take to stand up a multi-state communications arm to fight disinformation, a training program for nonviolent civil disobedience, and the underpinnings of what one official described as "mass public unrest."
An unnamed aide to the Biden campaign told the Daily Beast it is "aware of the concerns expressed by many of these [leftist] groups" that are "actively planning for all contingencies and scenarios."

Before officials get a chance to tally the votes, the FBT alliance is pushing the Democrat assumption that the election will be illegitimate absent a huge Biden victory.

The leftist coalition is explicitly making preparations to deal with a situation where the "November election ends without a clear outcome or with a Joe Biden win that Donald Trump refuses to recognize," the Daily Beast noted.

The leftist group, convened by the relatively secret Fight Back Table (FBT), reportedly discussed their plans in secret during a Zoom virtual meeting.

Referring to the meeting, the Daily Beast reported:

#2 Trump's first executive order should be to enlist Korean shop keepers into a National Shop guard and blast away at the fascist Antifa criminals invading businesses.

#3 I think a lot of the cops pulling the ripcord right now understand that the US Marshals will be hiring in 2021.

#4 Imagine all those poor lefties, planning for contingencies and, oh God, scenarios even. To be thrust into the adult world so suddenly is, well, one would need a heart of stone as the saying goes.

#5 Wait til they realize how vulnerable their city strongholds are to having food, water, and electricity cut off.

#6 Are they going to riot on election day or wait until after the mail-in count fiasco is completed?

#7 /\ I'm predicting concurrent chaos and anarchy. I hope I am wrong.

#9 I doubt there will be a bag limit, but might be a mandatory minimum.

#11 Procopius2k, use a bow, aim for the buttocks. They can't riot if they can't walk for a few months. Also they can't locate the report and find the shooter if they are using a bow. Robin Hood lives.

#12 If we're going to use arrows, I suggest an arbalest. You only need to fire one and a shot in the buttocks is going to result in years of therapy. Anything that used to rip armored knights out of the saddle or nail them to their horses is going to leave a mark.

#13 There are two basic human responses to these types of threats.

Defiance and fighting back.

Compliance and paying the Danegeld/jizyah.

Some voters will go one way, some will go the other.

The question is: How many will choose these respective options and how will those voters be distributed across the states?

#14 ^ Option 3: go underground.

Yeah, it can happen here
