Pritzker agrees: troops in cities are for DIRECT military 2026 election interference! [View all]
Thats whats going on with this militarization of our cities. Pritzker said this last night. Trump is not just normalizing having the military patrolling our cities for the heck of it, and he's NOT doing it to stop non-existent societal upheaval. Hes normalizing the military patrolling our cities for a seriously malignant reason: He is going to use his ICE/National Guard private army to intimidate voters in left leaning areas to ensure that the Republicans keep control of the House, the Senate, and various state legislatures.
As Election Day nears, the troops will already be stationed for quick mobilization against Democratic leaning voters. They will go to particular Democratic leaning precincts with a show of force designed to intimate people out of voting. Unfortunately, that's the least of it, as bad as that is. Much more important: they will also directly disrupt the voting process by closing some polling places and/or by sowing confusion among voters and local election officials at the polling places.
And what will we do about it? Well
we can raise hell. We can go to court. We can do a lot of things, but who or what will actually stop the voting disruption? The most we can hope for is a court order delayed for several hours, with most damage left intact and unmitigable. It will be too late to fix things, for the most part!
The only solution is to prevent it. Once it happens it is uncorrectable! Hell raising needs to start immediately. The public needs to be warned that this will happen
in effect PREPARE the public very specifically to expect it and to deal with it by being persistent and refusing to give up on voting, regardless of the circumstances. This needs to be a loud, specific campaign that is NON-STOP from now until the election.
Top Democratic office holders and surrogates MUST get on this NOW!
And Im in favor of anything else worthwhile that anybody can conjure up to save us from this planned dictatorship.
