Depends on your state's laws. But peaceful dudes in red caps are not what people are worried about. They are groups of aggressive people, potentially visibly armed, near to polling places or mail-in boxes that will scare voters away. If you have to walk past a line of lifted pick-up trucks, all with huge Trump flags in the backed, filled with angry redcaps with assault rifles, you might rethink voting. Which is the goal of the facists.
Sure, but I’m talking about the legal way we “guard the vote”. It’s incredibly effective and not super exciting.
You think they care about legality? They're a gang.
They are not a gang. They are a cult. It is an important distinction.
Is it? What is a violent cult? What is a gang that worships a single person?
I get what you mean,and agree if I'm being honest. I'm just curious of the distinction at this point!
I'll be there. And I will be armed as well. If it's a bloodbath that ends in my extinction? So be it. I will not stand for such a scenario as you describe.
Struggling to live with myself after 01/06 as is. Give me a chance to fight back? I'm all in.
Or it might make me want to vote against their asshole lord and savior even more resolutely than I already do.
It's a fight or flight response. Not everyone would be willing to fight. Glad you would be though. But if enough intimidation happens, They might just scare away enough people to change the vote.
