Trump May Use DHS Stormtroopers To Stop People from Voting

[Billiejeens]

LMFAO God help us if the libtard left thinks this now.

Last night I wrote about Trump’s use of ICE and Border Patrol stormtroopers under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security to detain and intimidate peaceful protesters. In that piece I speculated that Trump was not only testing the waters of creating his own personal paramilitary domestic security force and attempting to please the most sadistic elements of his base, but also that he was taking the natural actions an executive might take if he actually believed the dystopian propaganda about America’s cities being promulgated every day on Fox News.


*Snip*

The 2020 presidential election will be the first in nearly 40 years when the RNC isn’t bound by the terms of the 1982 decree. Clark, the Trump campaign lawyer, told the group of Republicans at the private meeting last November that the end of the consent decree was “a huge, huge, huge, huge deal,” freeing the RNC to directly coordinate with campaigns and political committees on so-called Election Day operations. The RNC is sending millions of dollars to state Republican parties to vastly expand these measures, which include recruiting 50,000 poll observers to deploy in key precincts.

So consider the following facts:

1) The Republican National Committee under Trump is set to deploy tens of thousands of likely armed, unbadged goons to try to intimidate voters of color from exercising their right of suffrage;

2) Both Border Patrol and ICE are functioning as largely unaccountable enforcers of the president’s personal whims and interpretations of law, detaining citizens for hours without explanation or formal charges, and operating in direct conflict with local mayors and governors;

3) Border Patrol and ICE both have stridently bigoted, conservative organizational cultures hostile to most people of color and more liberal, urban areas generally–and they are well aware that their powers will likely be curtailed under a possible future Democratic administration;

/——/ democRATs hate when Republicans fight back. We’re supposed to just roll over and play dead.

Yep
That has been the Republican M.O. in the past.
Not today though.

Who made that claim?

By default- since Republicans are apparently the epitome of evil- then the other part of the Duopoly Party has to be pure.

It's so fortunate these message boards are populated with such a vast number of conservatives who fancy themselves as Constitutional Law experts, maintaining a constant vigilance and keeping their brethren informed on the laws of the land.

The GOP would be lost without their ignorant interpretations of the United States Constitution. Their constitutional nonsense can be found on message boards and plastered across all forms of social media.

The Left fears the Constitution because it is designed to protect the Citizens from the Government

Just admit you like that they are cheating. It's okay to be honest, on anonymous message board.

Just admit you like trying to put words in peoples mouths- it's okay to be stupid on a message board.

Can you explain the fear of the constitution by Republicans?

Obama hired new Black Panthers to keep whitey from voting in Philadelphia..... and a corrupt judge still felt the need to stuff ballot boxes.

Remember what Eric Holder said..."I'm no going to prosecute my people"

What is really happening is the DHS is trying to make these liberal city streets safer to walk to the polls and vote. All voter suppression will be done by democrat Marxist wanna bes, idiots that they are.

Polling places are protected by local police. Federal agents protect Federal property. The OP is a joke.

You read the part in the OP where it insists that fox news is lying about Democrat controlled cities..

This guy is a full blown propaganda tool.

This rumor comes out every election season. I remember it from bush through Obama and now Trump.

REmember when Republicans lost their shiite over two black guys at a polling place?

With semi automatic weapons

So it would be cool if a bunch of white guys stood around at a black polling center with clubs muttering "neeegers best not vote" that okay? There is no intent to intimidate voters? Does the weapon matter?

Yes, that would certainly qualify as voter intimidation. Those guys would not be allowed within 500 feet a of polling place. Sending in ICE agents using an immigration raid as ruse would be a lot safer. Local police are not going to stop federal agents from arresting or questioning immigrants.

That won't happen because everyone with a cell phone would be posting it!

No. ICE agents can go anywhere in the country looking for illegal immigrants and that includes polling places. Trump could send ICE agents to polling places where Hispanics and Blacks vote in swing states, pulling them out of line demanding proof of citizenship. If in their opinion, the id is suspicious, they can detain them till the polls close. They wouldn't need to detain that many for the word to get out. Trump could suppress a lot of legal votes and there is not much that could be done about it. By the time it got to a judge, the election would be over.

If you think Trump would not stoop to this, think again. He has downplayed a virus that cost over 140,000 American lives, pushed governors to open the economy knowing it would cost more lives. All this to win an election. You can bet he's going to do everything he can legal or illegal to stay in the White House. Unless he's beaten by an overwhelming landslide, encouraging violence would certainly be a possibility. He's a fighter and doesn't quit which is why he was elected. As he has said several times, I never lose.

He does lose. He has lost a lot of times.

The solution to the problem you described is for people to vote by mail.

No one will challenge or prevent them from voting. Don't have to stand in a line for hours and no one demands to see your ID.

Skip the hassle and mail in vote.

Trump is working to stop voting by mail wherever possible by challenging deadlines. He sees voting by mail as a major challenge to his re-election. Republicans are mounting a multi-million dollar campaign to suppress mail voting. If he can successfully block efforts to make voting by mail easier during the pandemic it will benefit his campaign because minorities are more likely to vote by mail than show up at the polls.
Trump identifies the biggest threat to his re-election: mail-in votes

Everyone sees the potential of massive fraud with the use of Mail in ballots using a system not implemented before.

Democrats are simply okay with it as they're are certain that it will be to their benefit.

Everyone meaning, Trumpsters who see postal voting as a threat because postal voting makes it easier for minorities to vote. Research shows that the availability of postal voting increases turnout without adding any significant voter fraud. It is being used extensively in over 20 countries. In the US, every state allows absentee voting by mail. 5 states allow all voting by mail. A number of states legislatures have enacted provisional voting by mail due to Covid 19 which is being fought by Trumpsters. There is no doubt Trump will use all means, legal and illegal to suppress voting.

The fear of illegal immigrants flooding the polls blinds republicans to the fact that postal voting increases the turnout of legal voters, both republicans and democrats.
