    How do you see this playing out in major cities?

    I mean they all practically lean blue. I find it hard to believe even with their budgetary increase they have the man power to do this.

    Ice isn’t the army and they are certainly not going to coop the military into this plan come November.

      They’re not going to solid blue areas, I think they only need to target a few dozen swing districts that were leaning blue and disrupt just enough to introduce some doubt.

      That, and also they’re going the cyberattack route with machine-level infiltration/manipulation. I think they had some fuckery in 2024 with Musk, given that there was SO much smoke so surely there was a fire somewhere.

      Finally, they’re attacking it from the state legislature level. Any red states that have blue leaning swing districts, they are using the Republican state legislature to enact enough fuckery, voter roll purges, etc. to try to overturn.

      It’s these 3 pillars, all at the same time, that I think will unfortunately end up working to finally destroy 250 years of democracy.
