    Given the turnout and hype around the election, a riot would ensue if the losers took away citizenship to deprive the winner of their winnings.

        I don’t think they have a chance of holding just NYC but I think every major US city would suddenly be in open revolt if they did this.

          Wrong. They will do whatever they want, sure. But they will use any justification no matter how flimsy. This is less flimsy. And you’re reacting as if I’m saying what new Yorkers should do but I’m not. I’m simply accurately predicting what we all know trump would do in response.

        That is not a fight they would win. Admittedly, its a fight everyone would lose. But it would be the end of this coup, and possibly the end of the “United” states.
