Thank you to Steve Bannon for giving away the game:

Step 1: Show the people that ICE can kill anybody.

Step 2: Have ICE show up at polling stations in areas where people vote against Trump, so those neighborhoods do not go vote.

@randahl He's not giving away the game, this statement itself is voter suppression. Journalists and influencers amplifying this message are helping him scare people into not voting in November.

For the rest of the game, watch what #TulsiGabbard is doing. Gerry-mandering and voter suppression might not be enough this time, they're preparing to seize the ballots and voting machines under bogus national security pretenses and prevent certification of the vote by the states.

The point is that they ultimately don't care if people vote

Why is anyone in the U.S. thinking in terms of "four years", or "midterms ", or "elections" (beyond typical authoritarian kinds)? Have people not been paying attention? Will these people continue to be "Shocked! Shocked!" with each new decision made by this administration? That anyone believes anything but the worst will happen is how he got re-elected. This time there are no obstacles to his enacting or enabling anything he chooses. Stop your willful ignorance, this is real. #USPol

@ricardoharvin Bullshit. If they really didn't, they wouldn't be pouring so much money and effort into making it harder to vote.

@ricardoharvin @dmitry

An election with only one allowed outcome is not an election.

This "election" is performative, to make people think they can still vote so they will accept all these measures. If they get away with it, it will be the last one. This performative election is the last faint chance to object to fascism, that is why they are spending so much - to render any opposition to the current administration ineffective so that resistance will fail.
