    Race definitely not a factor here.

    I believe we should go back to our process pre-COVID and pre-2020 because there was some fraud.

    But the fraud was nowhere near sufficient to sway the results of the election. Not even close.

    I'm sure you're a real hero and revolutionary in your own mind.

    In Florida you could already vote mail in. It’s a normal process. Some states go even farther than FL. I voted the same way I did in 2018 and 2016 and multiple elections prior. I think I last went in person on a presidential year in 2008, and I had to wait 3 hours to vote....stupid.

    I see no reason to not have mail in and early votes. It should also be counted as soon as they come in (not delayed count until Election Day, which again was REPUBLICAN’s fault in states where that happened). The whole narrative is bullshit and basically only exists because Trump lost.

    That sort of thinking is for children, the naïve, LARPers. Building a better world isn't about wannabe heros cosplaying storming the capital.

    Read this whole thread. Our Legislative branch of government was threatened with armed insurrection. You don’t need weapons and zip tie cuffs to engage in peaceful protests. These people came looking to take hostages.

    This was Article II inciting a violent overthrow of Article I.

    Maryland Governor Larry Hogan on sending in the National Guard. Turns out the Secretary of the Army had to intercede when nobody in the DoD would.

    As John Lewis used to say, sometimes you have to stir up, "good trouble." But personally, I'm more of a MLK Jr. fan, and believe there is always a better way other than violence and destruction. At the same time, one must ask, just how successful would MLK Jr. would have been had it not been for those on the farther end of the spectrum, such as Malcolm X and the Black Panthers? In the end, Malcolm X had an epiphany that violence only begets more violence, but there is a certainly a fine line between good trouble and taking it too far and a riot.

    This is absolutely about race still. You don't have MAGA idiots flashing white power signs and wearing Club Auschwitz shirts just because they think they look cool. There's nothing patriotic about white supremacy. But as it was said, you can't fix stupid.

    If there is one silver lining regarding the Trump Presidency, he turned off the lights and allowed all these Proud Boy cockroaches to come out of hiding. For too long, we have allowed them to live in the shadows while many in polite society said racism was bad, all while winking and blowing a racist dog whistle. Trump and the MAGAts have shown their numbers, played their hand, and lost, and now that we know just who they are, and how many there are, it will be easier to fight them and expose them for just who they are.

    And apparently those worthless barricades aren’t just for smashing windows, they make great ladders for climbing walls.
    Who knew you could climb a wall with a ladder
