"Watch the voters"

We already have poll watchers, is he really trying to go full 1933 nazi and have his zealots "monitor" voters?

Great.

Watch them for what exactly? For... Voting for another candidate? I don't understand. Like. They are looking for fraud? What would that look like?

I don't get it. Like if I went and watched the people at my local voting center, I would see a bunch of senior citizen voulenteers handing out ballots, and then I would see people putting their ballots into the big scantron machine thing. That's what it would look like. That's what it looks like every time.

He doesn't want them "watching" for anything. This is a dog whistle for textbook voter intimidation tactics.

Sane people may be too scared to show up and vote because they actively fear for their safety due to threats of violence or social reprisal.

Watch that be what all of these mass shootings have been about. People hanging out in some random chat room or forum getting talked into shooting up schools, movie theaters, churches, concerts, etc... And the whole thing ends up being connected to this creepy cabal of people like Roger Stone and Steve Bannon. They get people to stand around the polling places with AR's and then people are afraid of becoming another statistic.

If you have 2 people charging into a voting place and being stupid they get arrested. If you have 100 people then the voting place gets shut down for safety.

Shut down enough places in the other guys territory and you win.

And if you have 100 people charging in while the votes are being counted? I wonder what happens then.

Florida 2000. The Supreme Court gives itself the power to supersede the Constitution and Congress and the State Secretary. They then hand the election to the GOP. (Who promptly lost the recount but too late, SCOTUS said so!)

Thanks, too many folks forget that Jan 6 was the second violent coup perpetrated against the United States in the last few decades. Not only does the Brooks Brothers Riot absolutely count as one, it actually succeeded.

He has said this shit each election how are people surprised still?

Yes.

He is consistantly pulling from Hitler's playbook. Why is this surprising?

Here's something few of the libs think about; Many of us are armed as well.

Lol, not nearly enough compared to American conservatives. 30% to 69%. You are outnumbered over 2-1.

I am not an American, I just look at statistics for everything.
