Romney wins = Depression, Obama wins = Violence...
So the way I figure it if Romney and the right win this election our country will head down the road of austerity which has decimated European nations like Greece and Ireland. With a nation like ours we talking the great depression on a whole other level. The tent cities and soup lines of the past will be like heaven compared to what our generation will have to endure. With the far right in charge charity for the poor and starving will be seen as useless spending. Tent cities like hooverville will be seen as civil disobedience like OWS. This is a no win situation for the USA. Our industry has been diminished and the only way out of a depression is a renaissance of industry. They quickest and most effective way to revitalize industry is war and on this scale it would mean world war. With today's technology a world war would be devastating to the entire worlds population if not an artificial extinction level event.

Now on the other hand if Obama wins it means there will be a very strong and dangerous divide in American politics. The rhetoric has steadily become more and more extreme since 2008. At first it may start with a few acts of domestic terrorism IE. Oklahoma city bombing, or it may start with states pushing for secession, or a combination of both. Now here's the problem. If states start seceding what happens to the military personnel and equipment in said state or more important the nuclear weapons that may be in said state. Then it becomes a civil war. On the other side if it's purely domestic terrorism if it is severe enough it could lead to actions such as martial law that would gain support for the terrorists. So it's a real possibility our country could be divided into civil war. Now if that happens, then what happens with the rest of the world without our presence, N Korea, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Russia, Etc. The entire world destabilizes.

So my point is either way we are screwed. Our only hope no matter what the outcome is to put our political differences aside and work together threw whatever crises we may face in the future. I have a feeling that this generation is on the threshold of being the next "greatest generation" like during ww2. We will have more important issues to face than which side is right about that social issue or that fiscal issue. We will need to come together left and right to do what we need to to survive.

Thoughts?

Spirituality is the opposite of religion, religion is a substitute for spirituality. Spirituality is a direct connection to Creator The Most high.

Anyone who inflicts pain on others will suffer themself from that pain.

It doesn't matter who wins it is going to be worse than a depression, if they don't get their heads out of the sand.
You can't hide from what is coming you just got to work faster on a solution. I'm not talking about what God is gonna do, a little talk with him wouldn't hurt, He might give them the answer.

The felled monetary system falling is the problem, what are you going to fix it with? You can arrest the crooks but you still have to
fix the mess.

He doesn't stand a chance. Even if he did by some chance win his isolationist policies would lead to global instability. I do agree with his policies regarding the federal reserve and social policies. What we need is to escape current politics and ways of thinking and start visualizing where we as a species is heading. We are leaving the idea of isolated societies behind with the information age. Also technology evolves exponentially so the more advanced we become technologically the faster we will develop new technology. That has incredible implications and will ultimately determine if we destroy ourselves as a species or grow into something extraordinary.

Honestly I'm surprised by the lack of responses on this thread. I figured I was ruffling more than a few feathers with this one but the silence is an interesting response.

I'm guessing that's due to the fact that most of us who actually care about this issue have already resigned ourselves to the fact that we're screwed.

I point out to you that policies of the governments in those European countries are what put them there in the first place.

Too much lending and spending.

Obama plans to do the same thing.

Actually Romney's platform is not austerity. He is proposing a 20% tax cut across the board. That will probably stimulate economic growth. If they actually hold on spending we might see a reduction in the rate of total bankruptcy.

Unfortunately his kowtowing to the nuke Iran elite is even worse than Obama's and so WWIII will still occur.

If Obama's elected we will probably see total economic collapse, loss of all freedoms and then nuclear war, if not a civil war prior to the suprise attack on the US.

I therefore choose death by Romney rather than death by Obama.

Actually the more socialist countries like Sweden and Germany are doing quite well for themselves. Supporting strong unions has helped keep themselves afloat. By your logic FDR should have destroyed the US economy WW2 or not.

20% is very different between someone making 25k a year and 25 billion. The trickle down theory doesn't work we learner that with Bush.. its a trap.

You are basically threatening violence by Whites but you are too much of a wuss to just spell it out. Towards who?

You forget that Both Blacks and Whites voted for Obama, there was a broad spectrum and will be again. Any Whites who react violently will be a terrorist threat and will be dealt with as such. Suck it up coward Romney is an unqualified joke who probably won't win and nobody is scared of you.

No Ron Paul's polices would put the U.S. into a depression, no doubt about it.

If your idea of freedom is waiting in a breadline in the midst of a global financial crisis, then by all means vote for Ron Paul.

How am I threatening violence. I'm making an observation based off of historical events.

To clear things up... I'm not a Romney supporter. I also agree that Romney will most likely lose the election. So why do you think people would be afraid of me?
