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 How do people listen to that obnoxious asshat and come away agreeing with anything that comes out of his lying face hole?
@randahl And turn this country back into Jim Crow mode. By banning minorities from voting.
@randahl so much invested in the idea that trump will never die.
He's 80. He will, and soon. And then all the trumpys are fucked, because he won't leave behind a repeatable example anyone will follow, and no successor (Vance ain't it).
@randahl Steve Bannon? The guy from the Epstein files? No way, I can't believe it!!
Also, it is illegal for federal agents to be at polling locations without an active crime being committed. Let's see how they twist the law this time.
As pointed by Devereaux, Bouie and probably many others, they don't have enough goons to do that, and by far.
And as shown by Minneapolis, if they try that in some voting places (which is the maximum their numbers can allow), getting their behavior on camera won't bring them good results overall.
I'm not saying that they won't try it, but they can't pull it out with the current political equilibrium.
@randahl I have also posted this chilling video on FB. This is civil war in the making...
@randahl
3. Make a picture of each voter and verify if they are Republican or Democrat. If it's a democrat, beat him ;)
@randahl@mastodon.social
Everyone not in denial has understood this to be one of their key goals.
Indeed. A blind man can see where this is going…
@randahl he also admits: his definition of stealing is voting against GOP. This is the classic redifining of words, changing their meaning to ride a narrative and mass manipulate. Once this works, they can say "the sky is purple" and no one will oppose. They can say "good is bad, and bad is good", and no one will oppose.
So Bannon wants to get the idea of ICE being present at polling stations into the public consciousness. The fact he chose to be the person to say it suggests his influence really has tanked even in MAGA circles. To make it happen would be a declaration of civil war…I suspect this is more about stoking the fear to get same outcome without the smoking gun.
@randahl Why does he always say we? He's not part of anything.
@randahl So scarry, and #Republicans let that happen ?
Army at polling stations = #dictatorship.
UN can send their peace keepers if they want, much better than ICE.
@randahl The USA are no democracy anymore. Thanks to billionairs, Trump and fascist MAGAs.
@randahl It's also important to note that if you have the option available to you, you can vote by mail. BUT, the post office is delaying postmarks so if you vote by mail, get it into the mail as soon as possible. If you wait until near the deadline it will likely not get postmarked in time and your vote will not be accepted. So mail in your vote EARLY.
@randahl Land of the free, home of the brave. 🥲
@randahl
ICE doesn't have that many people.
Also, Minnesota had a special election with ICE oppressing them and scaring people from going out in public. They voted in spite of it.

You don't have to influence the voters, just the elected representatives.

History shows that it takes centuries to overcome dictatorship. In the case of Germany and the other Axis powers, military actions were necessary from the outside. That was all before computer were available, the internet, surveillance cameras, face recognition software, surveillance capitalism, worldwide media companies in the hands of few regime-friendly owners.
They can't do the whole country, but they don't need to, they just need to do certain districts. This is about holding on to a razor majority in congress.
And you have to remember, states like Texas with Greg "th fucker" Abbott are going to be gleeful little helpers in making this happen.
I don't want to demoralize people from voting, but we have to be prepare for the real possibiloty of it being stolen.
@contrasocial @randahl
Check out Texas' recent special election. The only way you get a 30 point swing is for Republicans to vote for the Democratic candidate.
@randahl@mastodon.social Step 3: to ensure sufficient turnout, visit people at home to "help" them vote. Use rifles to ensure they don't accidentally vote the "wrong" way.
Like big daddy #Putin did in Donetsk. That's what #Trump wants.

@divVerent I'm Romanian and in my country we have some pretty wild ways to fraud an election. But this is amazing even to me.
@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.
