We should teach people to stand up to them, in kind. this happened at my mom’s polling location in 2020. A white man tried to intimidate voters in line (this is a Black neighborhood) and they cussed him tf out. Just ‘cause they’re up to bullshit doesn’t mean we have to play along.

This is not “unconventional.” It’s voter suppression. It’s voter intimidation. It’s election interference. It’s anti-democratic, un-American, and it must be defeated. Are you registered to #vote?

"Cable Street" here in the UK is always a good lesson to teach fascists 😏

Yes!

I recall well the “unconventional strategy” Pinochet used in Chile. Votes, tanks, all just various forms of elections.

@cnn.com -tell the truth. Stop sanitizing Trump.

All must vote!

And then they show up with semiautomatic rifles in open-carry states

It’s all just escalated. During the Bush/Kerry election I was working phones on Election Day. In calling got reports of polling stations in Black neighborhoods where some of the machines were “broken” resulting in long waits to vote. Seems quaint by today’s standards.

Exactly.

Maybe a call to the local John Brown Gun Club for volunteer security could be worth looking into.

Turns out if you tell at bullies they shrink away and cry. Make bullies cry
