I've been shushing people who say there won't be free #elections in the #USA anymore

#Cynicism leads to #prematureCapitulation: "if the #vote is corrupt, why vote"

Americans are lazy about voting as it is. Weak whiny "the sky is falling!" statements just because malicious intent exists is enough to make some give up

Besides, elections are controlled by the states

On that note (they won't succeed):

" #Trump urges #Republicans to 'take over' and 'nationalize' voting"

A BBC fact check shows, ICE agents fired 10 shots into the back of nurse Alex Pretti while he was disarmed, face down, and pepper sprayed in the eyes.

The naive will now try to convince the Trump regime that surely, this cannot be the new normal.

The realists will figure out how to respond, because this IS the new normal.

There are 281 days to the midterms. Trump knows he will lose, unless he finds a way to suppress the will of the people. For that, he needs his paramilitary force.

@randahl

an addendum:

i see an unfortunate sentiment out there

"they intend to block the #midterm #elections... voting is pointless"

some of this is the usual #trollfarm #psyop

some are people genuinely that spineless

you have to fucking #vote

yes the #democrats suck

but they aren't #fascism

it's not a fucking romance, it's just tactics in a larger war

if people don't vote in the #midterms out of whiny weak #prematureCapitulation, we are fucked. and we deserve it

VOTE motherfuckers
