I think you are forgetting about the 26 states with GOP governors that would welcome having the national guard at polling stations. And yes, Trump has mentioned pulling the Insurrection Act, especially when there is commentary on this very page about armed resistance, most sites would immediately get any mention of that deleted.
Far fewer illegal immigrants? At least that's what DHS says, so yes.
Oh I am not worried at all, protests haven't done anything effective in the last 20+ years in the US, I don't suspect they will any time soon. So either buckle up and prepare for something bigger or shut up, because for some reason we got Trump twice and the guy is really looking to get himself or a puppet in for a third round as well.
Yes, Trump has mentioned many things he hasn't done. Hypotheticals about GOP governors are just that: hypotheticals. And what are the National Guard going to do anyway? People can just show up and vote. If anything, it would probably motivate the "we should be at brunch and ignoring genocide" Kamala crowd even more.
Well if they say so! And good thing they took all those vicious terrorists weaponizing their cars off the streets, too! Everyone knows DHS would never tell a lie.
They kidnapped plenty of people. Then they got run off.
lmao you think by "in the streets" I mean No Kings protests? Privileged liberal for sure.
Seeing as you're clearly incapable of the latter despite having no idea what you're talking about, does "buckling up" solely entail whining about how powerless I am on Lemmy or is there more to it? Just want to be sure I'm following your instructions to the letter.
Good try at the rage baiting. You have a good life.
So just whining on Lemmy then, got it.
If it's just them stationed at the polls and not doing anything else fishy, then there won't be an armed anything. It's only if the idiot orange does anything to cancel or rig it. If the national guard is just there to keep the peace and not influence voting, then what ever. we walk in and vote. If it's anything else, it's war.
So what you are saying is there is no reason for them to be there, because no one at polling stations is causing disruption or influence voting. 'It's ware'? Please define that a little better for all of us to hear.
