The Quandary

This week we are going to the polls and many voters are in a quandary when it comes time to vote…

• “I’m not voting for a women!” = Trump wins.
• “I’m not voting for a president who supports Israeli!” = Trump wins.
• “I’m not voting for a president, there is no differences between the parties!” = Trump wins.

Whatever your excuse is for not voting you are allowing four more years of Trump!

Vote! Vote as if a life depends upon it because the life of a trans person does.

For me, I’m voted for the woman with Integrity, Honor, & Character.

Like many of us I am worried about November 5th if Trump loses it and sends in his "Shock Troops" like he did back in 2020.

‘January 6th is going to be pretty fun’: How MAGA activists are preparing to undermine the election if Trump loses

Before Election Day has even arrived, the “Stop the Steal” movement has reemerged in force, with some of the same activists who tried to overturn former President Donald Trump’s 2020 loss outlining a step-by-step guide to undermine the results if he falls short again.

For months, those activists – who have been priming Trump supporters to believe the only way the former president can lose in 2024 is through fraud – have laid out proposals to thwart a potential Kamala Harris victory. Their plans include challenging results in court, pressuring lawmakers to block election certification, and encouraging protests – culminating on January 6, 2025, the day Congress will once again certify the results.

“I have a plan and strategy,” Ivan Raiklin, a former Green Beret and political operative who has close ties to associates of Trump, told a group of Pennsylvania activists earlier this month. “And then January 6th is going to be pretty fun.”

This rhetoric is what is getting people nervous! Some worry that Jan 6 2020 was a dress rehearsal for Jan 2025.

Trump’s allies – and the former president himself – are increasingly pushing debunked claims of voter fraud, spreading their rhetoric through podcasts with massive audiences, megachurch sermons and political rallies in key states. Some Trump backers, including pastors associated with Christian nationalist ideas, have described the election as a fight between good and evil, describing Harris as the antichrist or suggesting that God has anointed Trump as the victor.

[...]

Unfounded claims about malign forces conspiring to cheat Trump out of an otherwise inevitable election win have been increasing in recent weeks from influential members of the MAGA movement.

“Yes, the steal is happening again,” Emerald Robinson, a right-wing broadcaster with nearly 800,000 followers on X, declared in a blog post earlier this month, criticizing the fact that votes may take days to count in some states. “It doesn’t take days to get election results. It takes days to cheat.”

This seems to me to be "Incitement to riot" and he is stirring up a lynch mob.

US voters concerned about post-election violence and efforts to overturn the results: AP-NORC poll

American voters are approaching the presidential election with deep unease about what could follow, including the potential for political violence, attempts to overturn the election results and its broader implications for democracy, according to a new poll.

The findings of the survey, conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, speak to persistent concerns about the fragility of the world’s oldest democracy, nearly four years after former President Donald Trump’s refusal to accept the 2020 election results inspired a mob of his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol in a violent attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power.

About 4 in 10 registered voters say they are “extremely” or “very” concerned about violent attempts to overturn the results after the November election. A similar share is worried about legal efforts to do so. And about 1 in 3 voters say they are “extremely” or “very” concerned about attempts by local or state election officials to stop the results from being finalized.

This is something that happens in a dictatorship... not in a Democratic Republic!

 

I'm going to say it again... vote Blue to save our nation from a tyrant!
