You know, the “Red side” does not have to worry about being harrassed, terrorized, beat up, or shot by the “Blue side” during or after the elections. BUT WE DO.... we will be living in fear if Trump loses, and also if he wins. This is horrific, and not how a democracy should be.
My state is an open-carry state--everywhere except at libraries, schools, courthouses, jails. No permit required.
It has felt tense all week during Early Voting. We poll workers had to take training on how to de-escalate tension, and on what to do if someone harrasses us or voters--or brandishes a gun.
Last night I worked the last shift at the Dems table --as a poll greeter. As I was driving 5 miles homeward in the dark, I noticed a vehicle tailing me REALLY close. So close that the headlights were below the level of my back window. I was going 5 mph over the speed limit. I sped up a little, then slowed a bit toward town as the speed limit changed. Still being closely tailed.
So I pulled over into a dark parking lot with 2 driveways so I could easily leave--the car went by.
When the car (a white SUV) was out of sight I went to my local store to meet another poll worker and hand over the table and materials.
I was rattled. She offered to follow me home, so I said “wait 5 minutes then drive to my house (on a cul de sac). I pulled over again and saw nobody behind me, so after a few cars went by I felt OK with driving home, into my garage, and texting my colleague to say I was home and fine.
I so remember the day I returned from Vietnam in 1970. I was returning to the place that we in the army at the time called "THE WORLD"! I could again walk down the street day or night and NOT NEED TO CARRY A GUN TO FEEL SAFE! Even so, For YEARS I flinched every time I passed a dark doorway at night or heard any loud noise, like a car backfire. THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO GO BACK TO BEING "THE WORLD" AGAIN WHERE WE DON'T NEED TO BE ARMED TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM PEOPLE LIKE TRUMP! THE START, IS TO FINISH TRUMP POLITICLLY (OR ANY OTHER WAY) FOR GOOD AND EXPAND OUR SUPREME COURT TO MUTE THE MAGA SIX! I also live in an "Open Carry" state. I remember a bunch of people carrying guns and refusing to wear masks while shopping during the pandemic. DID THEY THINK THAT THE VIRUS WAS AFRAID OF THEIR GUN??? I now own guns, and during the war, I killed people with them. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO THAT HERE, DEFENDING MYSELF, JUST BECAUSE I AM OF A DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTY!
This resonates with me sooo much. My father was a Vietnam Vet, as were many of his friends… He was so proud of his service and our country. Until Reagan, that is… He knew electing that actor was a means to an end; and I do believe that we may very well be on the brink of that “end”.
Please vote Trump OUT OF HIS FREEDOMS, he’s earned NONE OF THEM. They were fought like hell for by soldiers, women and men and children that fought, and in many cases died for our COUNTRY, our PEOPLE, and our FREEDOM. And, God and my parents-willing, by November 6th, these fighters will be able to rest easy knowing that they saved our democracy.
I was on my local 'Nextdoor' site earlier today and saw a post from a trumpster about how Kamala's speech last night was SO horrible and divisive and if she was elected it would do nothing but tear our country apart. She was afraid that the evil Dems would seek retribution for (something I couldn't figure out) and that Republican's lives will be in danger. She had so many people agreeing with her! It was shocking to read her post, to be honest. I don't understand what they thought they heard that would lead them to believe any of that, except what their dear leader tells them about all the evils of the Left. But I just found it fascinating that some of them are as afraid of us as much as we are afraid of them. (I think they're nuts, though, and that they have nothing to fear and we are the ones that will really need to be on the lookout for danger!)
The crowd size reminds me of the first Obama inauguration.
That was iconic. That was THE speech to close the message. The location. The tenor. The tone. The message. Kamala did a great job of pointing out the different views between her and Donald. This isn't going to be close. A beat down of epic proportions is on tap.
Amazing!
Listen to this then listen to any speech Trump has given in the past 9 years. No contest!
I can't wait to Celebrate Kamala Harris as President of USA wearing this "Kamala removes stubborn orange stains" shirt on November 5th 👇 🤣
AMEN! Trump even now tries to con people into thinking that 200,000 people fit into MSG with a capacity of 19,500? If they were ALL TRUMPERS, THAT WOULD BE LIKE TEN POUNDS OF SHIT IN A ONE POUND SACK! Kamala's crowd in D.C. was not only bigger than the TRUMPER NAZI SHIT FILLED CROWD OF January 6th, 2021, but they were there to see what a REAL president can look like! NEVER GO BACK!!!
The only scary thing is that these losers are not going to go away when they lose! They are poor sports that will throw a tantrum, and they own automatic weapons. I'm praying to you please please please protect us!
It was as if Kamala took a smudge stick and reconsecrated the Ellipsis. One of the loud white men looked like Will Ferrell, and he's likely one of them. I hope that she drew in the undecided, although how anyone can be undecided at this point is beyond me.
Well, You always tell us that good triumphs over evil, so we take You at Your word. Let's see it happen on November 5 and beyond, or we will have to take Your name out of You Bless America.
Sticking the knife in is satisfying but twisting it is so much more gratifying. Where is all my hostility coming from? Maybe it’s retaliatory but I wanted to be above that.

Well said! And thank you for your service.
I will always be willing to serve my country, but I WILL NEVER SERVE TRUMP!

Thank you for your service, Kind Sir.
I live in a navy-blue city in a blue state, and the crap is still scared out of me. Best love to you.
Drive into a lighted parking lot with people around, like a gas station or supermarket/convenience store
Or a police or fire station.
Better yet!

So glad you made it. Scary stuff.
That was for Sue Kocher.

AMEN! Trump even now tries to con people into thinking that 200,000 people fit into MSG with a capacity of 19,500?

Be the loud dad that votes for the future of his own survival in his own family.

Always a close up never the surround view. They are lying to you. Wake up.

That was Will Ferrell.
Hahahaha! The joke's on me! Unlike a certain orange mold, I can laugh at myself! Thanks, Hannah!
AMEN!!!
LIVE FROM DC THIS WAS KAMALA NIGHT <3
We even had a MAGA idiot turn violent here in the very liberal area of Illinois. https://www.wcia.com/news/local-news/ive-never-seen-anything-like-this-early-voting-turns-violent-in-champaign-co/
