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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
