You take my vote away and we’re going to have a problem. Ok republiQans? A. Problem.
You’ll find out how tolerant this left is.
Far as I have been able to tell there are two things stopping a good portion on the left from actually rioting:
Hope that voting will do what we need it to do
Lack of agreement on what to do
The third may be apathy, though that's been a constant, and basically a given at this point. I expect a loss of hope and general apathy over time if this went through. However, I also expect that the removal of 1 will cause 2 to no longer be an issue.
Who knows though.
If I can - in my sole judgement - safely cast a ballot and my wife can do the same, I’ll back down.
If however there are difficulties with that…. Just wait until you see what a liberal who believes in the Constitutiom and 2nd and 4th/5th handling that.
Wanna watch drop boxes w obscured tags? Yeah we can do that too, and report every instance of threats and violence.
I can’t do 24/7 anymore, but a lil vid while I nap seems totally reasonable.
