Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Regarding the results in the Rio Grande Valley, I read that many of the CBP/ICE agents who live there ARE of Latin ethnicity and the criticism of those agencies had a tangible impact within those communities.

It's what Trump's celebrity and mainlining rageahol gets you, a boast in turnout. Unfortunately for them, it also caused a backlash that got a bland Democratic candidate almost 80 million votes. 3 minutes ago, b_m_b_m_b_m said: Pro: maybe not scared of turnout Con: they don't trust the elections(when they lose), see the current fraud discussion in the right wing media Specifically what I am worried we are likely to see is that they will now build a rightwing machine to install partisan hacks at every level of the voting system. That's what typically happens when you see Republican officials being attacked by Republicans for not being crooked enough as is happening in a lot of country levels in Michigan and Pennsylvania as well as the two Georgia senators calling for the Republican to resign seemingly for no reason other than that the official didn't get them enough votes.

The question I would ask is "IF Donald Trump were planning a coup, how would he be acting any differently than he already is?". Once the court cases fail, it really comes down to what it was always going to come down to. Whether Trump will call in the men with swords, and whether his supporters and armed U.S. forces will take up that call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, it was not coming across to me that he was actually upset about it. I was annoyed with him for downplaying this and condescending toward the people worried about it, but I was not trying to chase him off. Not checking whether it was rising from some of the usual sniping that goes on here to actually upsetting him is on me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
