    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.

      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.

      I guess you haven’t yet realized that every single law enforcement officer in America is on the same team as these guys.

            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.

                    I find it annoying when a large portion of law enforcement would likely help the federal government interfere with elections and people start nitpicking over exactly how many. If I can offer a simple solution to prevent getting sidetracked like that in the future, I will.

        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.

            No, this bullshit is pretty different from business as usual. It’s quite important that everyone understands that.

                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.

        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.
