    I’m so amazed at all these old fucks throwing one dictatorship idea after the other and their followers all think it’s great!

    Imagine this headline: Obama proposes using ICE in elections

    I meant it wouldn’t make sense of course, but go with it…

    Imagine THAT headline and the response from the Republicans.

    They would go batshit insane and for once be right about it as well.

    But here we are, all accusations are confessions and the democratic party in that shit hole country seems to be fine with it all.

    Amazing, no other words. Just “Amazing”

    Immigration Customs Enforcement

    So, in regards to voting, what customs or immigration is involved in an election? Steve Bannon is leading an idiocracy. They shoulda trapped him in Biosphere 2 and thrown away the fucking key.

      To “Stop illegals from voting”, probably. Coming up with an excuse is easy for them these days - it doesn’t have to make sense, it just have to be in line with established talking points.

      If you’re brown or have some other shade of tinted skin, think twice before voting. That’s not my recommendation, that’s the actual effect they’re after.

        That is just to start with one effect. They want to corrupt all aspects. Openly, and our opposition to them have been ignoring it despite the existential threat to the republic it is. Hard to know what to do now, something more extreme than it would’ve been in 2021 if the politicians did their goddamned duty instead of selling out to their donors.

      Steve Bannon, the guy who joked about pedos with his best bud Jeffrey Espstein and tried to make an entire PR recovery documentary for him? I think that guy.

      Intimidate, harass, arrest, and cause enough turmoil to hand Trump the reasoning he’s looking for to sew doubt and complicate/confuse the results. That’s what this whole ‘investigation’ in Georgia is about, this is what he means by ‘Republicans taking over the elections’, etc.

      Shoot people in the back? Beat them up, pepper spray them, pump it full of tear gas, grab voting machines and ballots, you know.

      They are betting the democrats won’t stop them with their own state workers, and are testing the waters now to see how it plays, with their base.

      Democrats need to protect states’ rights. 10th Amendment, knowing they want to use the military to seize voting equipment, they should have cops, national guards, and miliias in place to prevent them from getting anywhere near voting centers in democratic districts in blue states.

      This is their most basic, fundamental duty as a state official, having taken an oath to protect and defend the constitition of the US and of their State, both of which REQUIRE them to prevent the feds from overthrowing democracy in their state under their watch in all but name to permanently put the worst people in the world in charge.

      It’s in their power, it’s their duty, and they have the population behind them. We just need some real leaders, and some outside of politics for the moment too, perhaps even anonymous leaders to prevent the feds persecuting them ahead of time, it really is going to be like that, but we can still stop them in 2028, we are stronger than they are, we just need to organize and fight under real leaders with a winning plan, that know how to build and run a political machine.

    Fuck this paedophile. He was bad enough before, when his quite close relationship with Epstein wasn’t confirmed. I hope he contracts acute lead poisoning.

      This traitor has been openly advocating for sedition for years. Biden was such a fucking chump. These senior Democrats actually believe that MAGA is just a phase that will go away in its own. Pelosi even said as much.

      The sentence Bannon deserved to get was unpardonable. Not four fucking months.

    I believe most evil is a product of architecture not individuals but Steve Bannon is a nice reminder that unbelievably, comically evil people DO exist.

    This is literally what I was saying the other day. With their “no warrant” arrests and their “grab whoever looks illegal” they’re just going to stop any non-white people from voting entirely…

    But Biden was a dictator for trying to get student loan forgiveness…

      This is why any white person that doesn’t want to get counted with these goons needs to step up and force ICE to deal with them instead of the folks they are targeting because THAT is what gets enough rage and attention on this issue for things to happen.

    We all need to buy identical T* masks and wear white gloves, or show up in ICE gear, along with ICE masks, so they don’t know who is who.

    They will be used in elections, asshole. People will remember how ICE was the GOP wannabe fascist paramilitary and vote them out of office.
