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.

@randahl And seize the boxes immediately after the vote.

jilll@theblower.au

@randahl So, ICE will be able to stop people voting, even if they turn up, by arresting them and keeping them in detention for a few days. This is not good. #uspol

dmitry@mastodon.circle.lt

@randahl He's not giving away the game, this statement itself is voter suppression. Journalists and influencers amplifying this message are helping him scare people into not voting in November.

For the rest of the game, watch what #TulsiGabbard is doing. Gerry-mandering and voter suppression might not be enough this time, they're preparing to seize the ballots and voting machines under bogus national security pretenses and prevent certification of the vote by the states.

@randahl@mastodon.social Step 3: to ensure sufficient turnout, visit people at home to "help" them vote. Use rifles to ensure they don't accidentally vote the "wrong" way.

Like big daddy #Putin did in Donetsk. That's what #Trump wants.

@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.

@randahl Land of the free, home of the brave. 🥲

@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 by several days 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 The USA are no democracy anymore. Thanks to billionairs, Trump and fascist MAGAs.

olivierburnier@mastodon.social

@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.

@divVerent I'm Romanian and in my country we have some pretty wild ways to fraud an election. But this is amazing even to me.

@randahl

if ever there was a cancerous person, it is Bannon.

@randahl @energisch_

The USA never were a democracy, although they made a pretty convincing cosplayer some of the time.

cblte@nrw.social

@randahl Why does he always say we? He's not part of anything.

jugglingwitheggs@mstdn.social

@randahl

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.

ilka4you@mastodon.social

@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.
