After ALLLLLLL of these different economic issues and problems, we have gotten through them. I think we just need to hunker down and buckle up, this'll be a rough one.

One MAJOR difference between all of those examples and today:
A racially charged political climate, with race baiters all over the mainstream media.
If the president is successfully challenged in the upcoming primary, there will be hell to pay.
When he loses the general election, I believe cities will burn.
I wish I did not believe that, but I do.
You think it is crazy when people riot because their favorite sports team loses the championship?
Imagine if almost 10% of the american population, who already consider themselves victims, pinned all of their hopes and dreams for a better life for themselves and their families on one man, only to have him defeated after one horrible term in office.
It has already started, but very few are talking about it. Racially motivated mob attacks are in the news every couple of days since the start of summer.
Peoria, Chicago, Philadelphia, and the Wisconsin State Fair are just a few that have made headlines, with little to no follow-up in the media.
The kindling is dry and stacked. The torch is lit. Just waiting for someone to toss it on the pile.
