Thank you to Steve Bannon for giving away the game:
Step 1: Show the people that ICE can kill anybody.
Step 2: Have ICE show up at polling stations in areas where people vote against Trump, so those neighborhoods do not go vote.

As pointed by Devereaux, Bouie and probably many others, they don't have enough goons to do that, and by far.
And as shown by Minneapolis, if they try that in some voting places (which is the maximum their numbers can allow), getting their behavior on camera won't bring them good results overall.
I'm not saying that they won't try it, but they can't pull it out with the current political equilibrium.
@randahl I have also posted this chilling video on FB. This is civil war in the making...
@randahl
3. Make a picture of each voter and verify if they are Republican or Democrat. If it's a democrat, beat him ;)
@randahl@mastodon.social
Everyone not in denial has understood this to be one of their key goals.
Indeed. A blind man can see where this is going…
@randahl he also admits: his definition of stealing is voting against GOP. This is the classic redifining of words, changing their meaning to ride a narrative and mass manipulate. Once this works, they can say "the sky is purple" and no one will oppose. They can say "good is bad, and bad is good", and no one will oppose.
So Bannon wants to get the idea of ICE being present at polling stations into the public consciousness. The fact he chose to be the person to say it suggests his influence really has tanked even in MAGA circles. To make it happen would be a declaration of civil war…I suspect this is more about stoking the fear to get same outcome without the smoking gun.
@randahl Why does he always say we? He's not part of anything.
@randahl So scarry, and #Republicans let that happen ?
Army at polling stations = #dictatorship.
UN can send their peace keepers if they want, much better than ICE.
@randahl The USA are no democracy anymore. Thanks to billionairs, Trump and fascist MAGAs.
The USA never were a democracy, although they made a pretty convincing cosplayer some of the time.
@randahl It's also important to note that if you have the option available to you, you can vote by mail. BUT, the post office is delaying postmarks so if you vote by mail, get it into the mail as soon as possible. If you wait until near the deadline it will likely not get postmarked in time and your vote will not be accepted. So mail in your vote EARLY.
@randahl Land of the free, home of the brave. 🥲
@randahl
ICE doesn't have that many people.
Also, Minnesota had a special election with ICE oppressing them and scaring people from going out in public. They voted in spite of it.
