@alice @amydiehl And in 2017 a Washington Post poll found 75% of white male registered voters surveyed were registerd GOP and one third of them agreed with at least one statement out of a list of white nationalist statements.

It is a tossup whether ICE's brutal terrorism will change enough white make minds to reverse this. Note that historically only white men, in fact only landowning white men were permitted to vote in the US.

If they take away everyone else's votes and white voters hand the GOP a win this November, we can treat the entire election results as rigged and illegitimate. Any nonwhite votes cast and counted (even if only by exit polls) should then be extrapolated to estimate what votes would have been cast by those who were prevented from voting and used to challenge the outcome not just in courts but in the streets.

Such a brazenly stolen election will stir up a huge hornet's nest and may give us what we need to finish this conflict and throw down everything Trump and Project 2025 stand for. It will that is if we actively defend the election itself from Trump's interference understanding we may be defeated in that battle but the cost of that win for Trump may be decisive. If we convince everyone this is inevitable before November and its not a shock to the general public anymore, that hornet's nest will be a faint buzzing in the distance only.

There is also the chance the GOP makes this a white men only election by a decisive margin (say by tossing out 10+% of other voters) and the GOP gets stomped anyway. If THAT happens we are in an excellent position no matter how Trump responds.
