For any USA citizens, reminder that there will likely be racial hate groups and other politically driven thugs attempting to cause disturbances and riots today, so make sure to carry a bottle with water and basic first aid supplies, as well as self-defense tools as law allows in your state. This goes double for people living in urban areas with a leftist majority. Stay safe.

@nerthos Can you ELI5 that for someone who does not live in America ? ( ELI 5 would stand for Explain it Like I'm 5 )

@critialcloudkicker Well, the hardest opposition to trump is the same demographic who has been causing rioting and racial hatred for the last few years, with backing from the state (which they'll no longer have now). They've mentioned openly the intent of causing trouble today and through the next 4 years. And taking the election days as an example, the most likely thing to happen is urban rioting, aiming mostly for residential areas the rioters consider to be "the enemy"

@nerthos @critialcloudkicker >aiming mostly for residential areas the rioters consider to be "the enemy"
Only because they already wrecked the Potato Knishes out of the "friendly" towns at the end of the election. -
@nerthos Woudln't that mean that their primary targets would be non-leftists urban area's ?
-
@nerthos I honestly think most of these people don't have the balls to actually do anything.
-
@critialcloudkicker No, they're not that organized. After the elections they simply went against everyone, many of which were actually on their side. They'll likely attack what they /think/ is their enemy, but will likely be assorted civilians. They also don't move to opposition strongholds, they prefer to cause trouble in their home turf where they know there won't be a real backlash. If they tried to do it in a right-wing stronghold it'd likely boil down to a firefight where the rioters would be on the recieving side.

@awl It's a fair point too, but I'm going for the safest approach. Would rather not risk it since I have a few friends over there.
-
@nerthos That actually makes a surprisingly amount of sense. Also I suspected you warned against mostly property damage and perhaps some human colatteral damage. You said "assorted civilians", that alone worries me
-
@critialcloudkicker I meant damage to houses and random 5 to one attacks on people who are alone like in the election. As well as employees in stores and the like being victims of violence.

@scribus I don't think they'll go against places with security, because then they have to deal with the police doing something.
-
@nerthos You know, I never actually wondered how things like Liability insurance worked abroad up till now.
-
@nerthos Yeah, I expect nothing to happen to me, but I can never quite forget the potential that we're a target to somebody.

@scribus Do your best mexican accent and swear at trump if confronted by a violent gang and you'll be safe.
