Recount could lead to civil war/white riots... [View all]

trump already has riled up his base prior to the election to look out for voter fraud.

now his tweets are inciting them again.

if this recount actually happens and if by 0.00001% chance it changes the outcome, i fully expect a civil war and many white riots and racial crimes to be committed.

americans are not to be trusted to act civilized.

will it be worth it?
