So at what point can we consider the USA to be no longer democratic at all? It has already been downgraded from being a liberal democracy.
Pussy
FYI it's illegal to post soldiers at polling stations in the US
Show me one example of trump giving a fuck about the legality of something he wants
As an alternative we'll accept someone holding him accountable for an illegal action.
A few have tried, one came close.
Yes, and they know it, but they don't care. They believe in the might is right. People need to wake up. The rule of law is over.
If we can't place our ballots, we'll have to vote with bullets. Of course that's what they think they want.
Tell the police
It won’t be soldiers. It’ll be Proud Boys and your local bigot embracing the opportunity to harass women, minorities, LGBTQ (or people they assume are)… basically anyone that doesn’t look MAGA material. It’s an open call for mob intimidation under the auspices of “protecting election integrity”.
lol.
Are you ready to shoot over it? Because ain’t nobody saving us but us.
Legality doesn't seem to be an issue for the current administration.
Start organizing NOW. Get in touch with your local rapid response groups or other local orgs. Create a poll watch patrol and target high risk polling places. Report any suspicious people/activity, and response with people to protest and video it.
Arm up people.
Well, we had the chance to save our democracy, and we blew it because of eggs. Say, how's that affordability crisis looking nowadays?
I just spent around $40 on two burgers, fries, and a shake at Five Guys... So bad. It's looking bad.
Paid $4.50/gal for gas at a fucking Costco and my haircut costs 2 times what it did a year ago so I'd say Trump's nailing it ~ elon
More like "election preventing army". Trump and the GOP can no longer afford free and democratic votes.
So, poll watchers? A thing we already have?
Really... The world is watching you yankers. At this point. If the un is not controlling your election. We know it's rigged. And you are completely useless. Won't stand up for yourselves. And the sooner we convince our governments of this the best. The USA is over.
Thanks for the encouragement. Fuck you too.
What exactly should random people living paycheck to paycheck do about our entire government being controlled by fascists?
We are already protesting and striking.
Our leaders have failed us. The good ones failed to stand up to the bad ones, and the bad ones are in charge now and control the media, the military, and the Supreme Court.
You want Dave from Burger King and Emmett from Starbucks to resort to guerilla warfare?
Should we be committing harkiri in the streets?
You think you’re angry?
Imagine being here, watching it happen face to face, arguing with a never ending army of brainwashed people who get off on cruelty because they’d rather burn it all down than let immigrants and trans people live in peace.
To be honest, that's what the American people have always done throughout history. When the elite got out of hand, the people revolted and successfully brought them down. So yes, Dave from Burger King should be there in the streets too. At the biggest anti-Trump protest the US had so far, only 2% of the American people were present. And those who were present waved signs for exactly one day and then went home. That is simply insufficient.
A bunch of failsons with a fourth grade reading level patrolling polling stations with AR-15s. What could be more American than that?
If this "army" is anything like ICE we all know what that means: voter intimidation and violence.
MAGA is attacking election integrity from several ends. We always knew this was going to happen if he gets re-elected. And with "we" I mean not enough people to matter, apparently.
