Permanent Majority by Terror? [View all]

Maybe this isn't "creative" enough, but here goes.

See this thread.

All that disinformation must have a reason. Supposing Obama "wins," these armed wingnuts could very well take to the streets. Given some strategic leadership, they could cause (at least) confusion and possibly damage.

Then what? The Tea Party elements in the government simply surrender. The Army and National Guard refuse to put down this "revolt." The survivalists and sovereign citizens, who have been training for this eventuality for years, set up their own little fiefdoms. Those of us without guns and ammo (read: liberals) get purged. Finally, the survivalists, all "terrorists" of course, get purged by the National Guard, who decide to react after all. The country is under martial law, the liberals are all gone, and the infrastructure is mostly untouched.

Now suppose Obama loses, and it's beyond obvious that the election was rigged. Demonstrations everywhere. President Romney declares martial law. The survivalists see this as their last stand. Scenario proceeds as above.
