I personally think that the election was rigged, hence the reason for all those problems at the polling stations. Many of us have tried to warn our fellow citizens against voting for Trump, but it was to little avail. What you see going on right now is only a taste of what is to come. It would be preferable to cush the serpent while it is still inside the egg, whatever the means employed.
