We’re far beyond the point of no return on that. They’re going to be violent no matter what, so we should celebrate when they target each other instead of, well…literally anyone else.
We are certainly further than I like. My fears are more around what starts happing at the poll booth. Or during vote counting. I worry about what starts happening to election workers.
Yeah, it’s pretty terrifying. Luckily, we can all still vote by mail here in Wisconsin, so we don’t have to physically go to the polls, but the republicans have managed to put some heavy barriers in the way of it in the last couple years, even though their attempts to ban it outright have failed.
My city used to have a mobile ballot dropoff truck, but they sued and got it banned, and they’ve also banned dropping off ballpts for other people. If you’re disabled and/or don’t have reliable access to transportation, and understandably don’t want to trust the republican-crippled USPS with your ballot, voting has become much more difficult, if not entirely impossible.
