I made the following prediction in my LiveJournal back in October 2008
I'm worried.
After seeing the McCain/Palin rallies the past few days and reading about what the crowd was like, I'm almost tempted to think that the McCain/Palin campaign has given up on winning and decided to so whip up their wingnut base that they will be in an ugly enough mood to not only throw a mass fit when Obama wins, but be inspired to do their best to make his term in office miserable. I fully expect scattered riots from November through January followed by an uptick in right-wing domestic terrorism for as long as Obama is president.
In other news, I'm stocking up on canned goods.
No riots, but if I had replaced it with demonstrations by conservatives after January 2009, that entry would look really good.
As for what reminded me of this entry, how about these two stories in the news from Crooks and Liars?
The lessons of history seem not to have stuck for Tea-Partying Oklahomans
The Hutaree militia: At the crossroads of Christianity and terrorist violence
If you recognize that second story, it's because I journaled about it in FBI and Homeland Security raid militia in Lenawee County.
