Congress is literally letting fascism happen. Trump needs to be impeached now! His adviser Steve Bannon has told us they are going to employ voter intimidation tactics. On his podcast he said, “We’re going to have ICE surround the polls come November”.
This isn’t an everywhere strategy, it’s a targeted one.
For example, doing this heavily in Fulton county (ATL) would pretty much guarantee that Georgia goes red this time.
They only have to identify a handful of purple States, and then throw everything they have at disrupting voting in their major cities.
And this won’t be the only thing that they do, they’re currently working on mandating a nationwide real ID requirement for voting, which would prevent literally tens of millions of people from voting.
In every one of those locations, the voting populace will vastly outnumber those gestapo pigs too. We just have to show up with numbers and they will not be able to do jack shit.
People have no idea how much goes into every American voting in the same 12 hour window…
Like ICE is big, but the amount of voting locations is insane. Even if ICE focuses on Blue cities, it’s hard to find a polling location in a major city that’s not less than a mile from another. They’re all over the damn place and there’s now way they can cover them all
People are stressed and not thinking logically, which is exactly what trump and the oligarchs work.
Also I suspect that their actual plan is to declare fraud and try to force their candidates, but I suspect that’s more likely to result in Republican candidates having UN Owen was her played with their skull by state troopers if they try to force the situation well either that or a nullification crisis.
You say every one, someone else says there are exceptions, you say obviously but this is true for most of them, they say yeah that’s fair, and nothing of substance is added to the discussion. Why not skip that whole rigamarole and just start with “the vast majority” or “nearly every one” instead of unnecessarily hyperbolizing?
See, there you go! Now I can’t point out the one guy that demonstrates an exception if you stated “every person” instead of most! I get that it’s an annoying thing to change, but is it more annoying than having this conversation multiple times?
You should realize that most people don’t find the concept of a discussion annoying or challenging, but i expect that probably is not the case for conversations that include you.
If you’re in one of these areas, take action. Contact your local, state, and federal reps to ensure polling place integrity. Sign up to work the polls. Volunteer to escort people to the polls, especially if you’re a white male.
Need to get 1M plus Americans who believe in democracy to sign up to stand at every single polling station in the nation and defend what they believe in - the free vote.
This country has very limited impeachment and recall mechanisms. It practically hasn’t evolved past its 18th century framing and it seems the GOP has finally found enough holes in the government to forego any semblance of democracy. Legislation can be stopped dead in its tracks with just a handful of people. If Trump is to somehow be stopped this time, anyone else can just keep tearing at the fabric of this government until it fails completely. The only solution that even makes sense is to rewrite the Constitution to better deal with more modern and sophisticated threats but that seems about as popular as the word “socialism”.

We should also look at getting rid of the electoral college and FPTP, replace with ranked choice as the default. Then win congress, restructure the SCOTUS, and overturn citizens united which should be easy with the above amendment.
The establishment critters all come out of the woodwork when asking this if your state reps and claim it’s too dangerous because Repugs will take advantage to rewrite the constitution and take away all our rights. Considering they are doing that regardless, I don’t consider it a risk at all.
And yet people continue to have the delusion that the rules will magically protect them. What don’t people understand about rules needing to be enforced?

Chickenshit Republicans in Congress, yeah. How many times to they have to impeach to get those fuckheads to wake up and smell the treason?
They don’t have enough of their gestapo goons to stop us from voting. They are saying desperate bullshit now because they know they are going to lose.
I hope you’re right, but they don’t need to stop everyone.
There are usually key election spots and targeting those is all they’d have to do, they certainly have enough for that.

I guess you haven’t yet realized that every single law enforcement officer in America is on the same team as these guys.
I know a police chief who hates Trump with a burning passion. Stop thinking they are all like Arpaio.
Want about a million counter examples?

Most people have brains that can process obvious hyperbole without falling all over themselves.

They don’t have enough of them either. They are like a fraction of a percent of the overall population. They ain’t gonna stop us.
We’ll see. They have been pulling this fascist bullshit for a century and no one has stopped them yet.
No, this bullshit is pretty different from business as usual. It’s quite important that everyone understands that.
Want a list of people that have been killed by the border patrol that you didn’t give a shit about?
Yes go ahead and list every one of them. I’ll print it out and mail it to the Give A Shit headquarters posthaste.
No, but they might have enough to send to purple/blue areas to scare non-white demographics to stay away and sway the elections.

Not going to happen. My health insurance.
Impeachment is political process. If they remove him — that will be more worthwhile. I doubt they will.

Theyve been letting it happen for decades. Incrementalism is a tool of fascism, small seemingly unrelated steps to the right.
