Hillary Clinton should have been prosecuted and should be in jail. Instead she is running for president in what looks like a rigged election

This is the first, Saturday-night-rude version of what will probably be several posts on Lord Smallfinger Shitgibbon’s latest hate-mongering performance skits. Sometimes only a satirist can do justice to the essential meanness (as in: lack of quality or attractiveness; shabbiness) of Donald Trump…
HILLARY: "Rigged." What a joke. You fuckin' coward.
TRUMP: Ya rigged it, Hill!
HILLARY: I rigged your body to paw women for 50 years?

HILLARY: You're a monster and a fraud, but the thing that gets me is the LAZINESS. You don't do the work.
TRUMP: 'Cause of how rigged it is!— Owen Ellickson (@onlxn) October 15, 2016
TRUMP: Just 'cause you're gonna beat me–
HILLARY: I ALREADY beat you, dope. The early voting gap's insurmountable. Know why? My team WORKED— Owen Ellickson (@onlxn) October 15, 2016
TRUMP: Keep it up and I'll say–
HILLARY: You'll say whatever you'll say. The armchair angry boys will squawk & squawk. We workers will work— Owen Ellickson (@onlxn) October 15, 2016

Actually, Trump doesn’t know how to operate when he can’t rig things. In the 80s and 90s his ‘supporters’ were the nyc-centered media outlets. Media was mostly dominated by NYC then, and he knew how to work them to construct and control his image. By feeding them and and pressuring them indirectly through connections and sometimes directt threats. That’s why he was “Teflon” (their word for him until the end of this summer). It wasn’t some magic power of his charisma, as they made it sound. It was his connections at NBC and at People Mag etc who he knew how to work. These supporters werent poor rural people without enough education to see clearly. They were wealthy NBC executives and influential magazine and news editors and other people he could use to get his story out the way he wanted, and also use to hide the ugly parts. These guys knew and helped him hide the ugliness, because he and they shared power. That’s the story that the press is mostly avoiding while blaming only the people at his rallies.

He knows that if he comes out and says it was stolen from him and the cult they will never accept the results, and they could create real havoc around the country.

If the election is the landslide we all want it to be, I don’t know what happens. Thinking about the Republicans (fucking Jeff Sessions) makes me so angry I can’t even put it into words.

I think he’ll keep playing to his base and I hope that that base will keep growing smaller as women peel away. It boggles my mind that he has any women voting for him, and I think that number could get very small. I also think the millennials who appear to support him now will get pressured by peers to dump him as he grows more and more outrageous. They may not vote for Clinton but they may choose not to vote. And I really hope as this keeps happening that he drags the down ticket races with him.

The few who are actually ready to fight, like the militias, are wildly disorganized. Violence of a level to require the national guard is not going to happen.

There’s been a lot of speculation about what Trump’s supporters will do if he loses.

IF Trump had any brains at all he would grouse about the results a little bit but stop short of inciting violence. The GOP will play the perfect Weimar role and try to ignore him completely, setting up the rigged/stabbed in the back narrative that Trump can grift for years.
If he tries to make a stand on Election Day, he and the rest of the world will realize that it’s all a bunch of old white guys calling for violence. They won’t make it past the Walmart parking lot when the local sheriff will talk some sense into them and (since they’re white) give them the chance to stand down and go back home.
