This should be arrests of ICE.
Maybe everyone should come to the polls armed.
Oh boy if Federal officers start yanking people out of voting booths or intercepting people on their way to vote on election day we are going to have a fucking shit show.
Who? Who do you imagine is going to do shit?
Nobody’s done anything. We have an endless war. We have a personal Nazi army with more funding than the Marine Corps. They’ve already killed citizens in the street, on camera, with no consequences. Nobody I know has ever expressed a willingness to do anything more than vote, and maybe attend a local, peaceful, pointless protest, if it won’t inconvenience their Saturday plans.
Kick the war off in style
If they’re smart (ha) then they’ll just generate a bunch of buzz and fear about how ICE might be out and about on election day, so that as many people as possible from vulnerable populations (aka non-male non-white people) are too scared for their lives and freedom to go vote.
They will do that for sure, in fact, this very story might be one of the first broadside in that battle. They will also arrest a few. Violently. Any non-white, likely democratic voters, will think twice before they go to the polls.
ICE will be doing its best to provoke an “active public safety threat” wherever it can during the elections. They’ll turn up and start grabbing people out of voting lines, or just threatening people, and as soon as anyone protests it will be an active public safety threat. Then they’ll either shut the polling venue down or cause so much trouble outside that no one dare approach. Once the election is done and there just happened to be active public safety threats in Democratic-leaning areas only, the Democrats will decide they have to play by the rules and accept the result in order to protect democracy.
I mean - they’ll be using their own burner phones to call in active bomb threats for the buildings they are posted to when a lot of brown people come in. Bit of the old tail wagging the dog…
This is a really fascinating scenario. As far as I know, we’ve never had an election re-do. I wonder what in heck could trigger one
There is no mechanism for it. Short of universal action, this would not happen. The sham election results would stand.
So then we’re at secession, I guess.
It’s not even something new.
Pedolf Shitler repeating his favorite part of history once more.
Okay I hadn’t heard that before; I lol’d in the traditional meaning
Woah an IRL lol?
Bruh, I’m sick of history being repeated in the worst ways possible
Early Voting in Texas starts on October 19th and continues through October 30th. These counties are enrolled in the County-Wide Voting Program. You can get all the information about voting in Texas Here
Vote early, you have 12 days to get up and vote. The lines are short, there is no reason you can’t find the time between 7am and 7pm to wait 15 minutes in line and vote on one of those 12 days.
Militias are needed to defend
Panther patrols at every polling place. But it won’t help, because not nearly enough of the country is willing to actually fight against the things they say they consider unacceptable.
So when they see the first panther patrols being gunned down or arrested en masse, they’ll convince themselves it’s for the best and do nothing at all instead of arming up to go out and take their places.
And if that’s the case, then a fascist dictatorship is 100% exactly what we deserve.
Which won’t happen, but would be exactly the provocation the fascists are looking for to declare total martial law and do away with the election.
