Q: What happens when a presidential candidate doesn’t concede?

A: As per the Constitution, each candidate is allowed to take their supporters and start a new country.

Q: Why might Trump refuse to concede?

A: While experts are divided, a lifetime spent never hearing the word “no” from anyone is probably a good guess.

Q: Is there a danger violence could break out?

A: Thankfully, only if Trump displays a tendency toward inciting his supporters to extreme anger.

Q: Could there be rioting?

A: Not technically, since the individuals causing property damage and starting fires will most likely be white.

Q: Should I be worried?

A: If you haven’t already been horrified for the last 16 months, there’s probably no point in starting now.

Q: What legal recourse does Trump have for challenging the election result?

A: Candidates wishing to dispute the outcome of a national election must file a motion with the District of Columbia Small Claims Court between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., weekdays.

Q: What does Trump risk by not conceding?

A: Fanning the flames of violence, delegitimizing the United States government, but most of all, missing out on a valuable life lesson.

Q: Does something like this have historical precedent?

A: Yes.

Q: In America?

A. Oh, God no!

Q: When does somebody step in to ensure this doesn’t get out of hand?

A: Ideally, sometime around August 2015.

Q: Is this what a crumbling empire looks like?

A: Yup!

Q: What will happen to Clinton if Trump doesn’t concede?
