For four years, every time the Pumpkin hit another new low, I would think, This must be it. It cannot go lower. The country has to bounce off this floor now. This time. At last. Every time, I have been wrong.
I now think, there is no bottom. In case of a bottom, some red-hatted MAGAt will grab a shovel and get to work.
Now just imagine the “poll-watchers” that this orange turd whips up. Showing up outside voting locations with AR-15s to stand in for their fragile masculinity. How will they behave toward people of color, women that they are not sure are mentally subjugated, or anyone who they think might not vote for Pumpkin. “Anyone wearing a mask” is not that bad a heuristic for this mentality.
And do you think for a minute that police will discourage them? Here is an example of servin’ and protectin’ for you:
At a BLM protest, the protestors get the pepper spray. At a Nazi protest, the BLM counter-protesters get the pepper spray.
His constant whine/tweeting about mail-votes being fraudulent are because he knows he’s losing. When the rigged-for-racism electoral college is not enough, he will stage a coup d’etat based on ridiculous claims of vote fraud.
The wilful destruction of the Post Office has a very immediate purpose – make sure you can’t vote.
While their heart is in the right place, Pumpkin just can’t expect the local police to coordinate on a national scale for the advancement of fascist dictatorship. They aren’t really built for it.
Naturally, the kind of police violence that makes racists feel safer for a minute is a top priority, certainly over doing anything at all about a pandemic or the economic well-being of people with net worth under eight digits. But to provide the kind of distraction they need with an election three months away, it has to be coordinated on a national scale.
Lucky for him, the PATRIOT Act’s funding of military equipment being lavished on “law enforcement” was not restricted to local and state departments. So, a Gestapo is born. After a smash hit run in Portland, watch for the grand opening this week in Chicago.
