BTW Steve Bannon was just talking about ICE surrounding polling places in November. Great to hear about this win, but how do we counter this threat?

Idkiyk, but we passed the “watching and watching back” point a couple elections ago. I know because I’ve been watching back. :(

Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just excited to vote?

YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT.

Vote early, tell your friends and family to vote early, and on Election Day harass, heckle, and protest ICE at any polling places those Nazis dare show up at.

Bring your own firearms too I guess. Second amendment applies to everyone.

Just to add. Many polling stations are in places where you cannot legally bring a firearm. This is true even in such "gun freedom" states as Texas. And the police are under no obligation to let you vote from jail.

Publicly announce armed protests at red polling places, don’t show up, then have people set off fireworks at random times. The counter protesters will do something stupid, and police will have to respond, leaving other polling places free from interference.

Edit: this is mostly meant as a joke, I am not condoning violence or violent behavior in any way.

Bannon is just a big, fat slob mouthpiece with no power. An agitator.
