Thank you for cutting through the rhetoric and making sure things are clear. I would also like to add that there are no parts in the letter saying that ICE will change their operation tactics and procedurdes (e.g. executions).

I really appreciate it when people want to set the record straight like this, and you're right, the truth is probably worse than this post. But it's not as sensational so people will gravitate to the bullshit tweet instead. Which is the same phenomenon which gave us trump to begin with. 🤦‍♂️

You’re right. I’d bet what they mean to say is that peace would return to the streets because they’d get rid of all dissenters.

They still want to fuck with voting though, which is the gist of the post.

Walz should get a chat box to make up a random list of imaginary voters, print it on a few reams of paper at 5pt type and see if they really leave.

Thank you for the clarification and suggestion, but this does not constitute misinformation, as I see it. The Orange Turd's camp are characteristically incoherent. You interpret Bondi's incoherence in a different but valid way. What they are communicating they will do if given the voter database is less important than their interest in forcibly obtaining the voter and other databases - and the linkage of this interest with ICE's presence in MN. Please let me know if I'm off the mark here; if this is misinformation and should be removed

OP doesn't care that they've posted false information. They all but told me so.

I think fascists see violating boundaries, hypocrisy, and telling lies as signs of power - ie, things to aspire to in their twisted minds. That's dangerous, and not how non-fascists think.

Mainstream traditional and social media have devolved to simply publishing verbatim what the fascists say without offering any kind of context or evaluation of, say, the truthfulness of the statement-now-headline.

I agree with you all around otherwise. I just don't think this behaviour rests on overconfidence or an appraisal of riskiness via the SC. I think it's psychologically must deeper, and recognizing this will help us deal with them better

Don't worry they have 10 more months to fix that

You're right, but Trump thinks he won it in all 3 of his elections. He thinks it would have "swung" toward him if it weren't for the Democrats letting "illegals" vote. I can almost guarantee you that's part of why he is targeting Minnesota.

Same thing as the 2A crowd: crickets

and a few randomly generated code numbers to just fuck things up in the database

Little Bobby Tables, we call him.

Malicious compliance

They never said they wanted their current database.

Minnesota is factually the bluest state in the US

Name, address, party affiliation, prolly some more identifying information.

Names and party affiliation. Possibly addresses as well. At least tells them whom to purge, at worst tells them where to find them.

voter registry

i.e name, address, party affiliations, etc..., and whether or not they voted (but the vote itself are secret)

You need to be on the list to vote in elections. You get assigned the closest polling place, then you show up, they ask for you name, and they go through the book thing with a list of voters assgined to that polling place, they find your name then check it of before getting someone to set up the voting machine thing for you. For Pennsylvania, they ask for ID for the first time, they mail you a voter registry card which can be used for as that ID. Next time you don't need an ID, the just ask you for a signature on the voter roll.

If you name isn't on the voter roll at the polling station for some reason (like a mistake they made), you can ask for a privisional ballot then they sort it out later. If you were supposed to be on there, then they count the vote, otherwise its discarded.

So once they have this list, they can just go down the list of democrats and raid every house

Intimidating certain voters not to leave their homes and go vote, obstructing voters, detaining them - lots of non-electronic ways to manipulate an election

My bet is data mining for state subsidy reasons. Or just a "tough guy" approach to intimidation.

He knows which neighborhoods to bomb.

He knows which houses to send the secret police to to beat, threaten, or murder.

He knows which people to force private companies to bankrupt to put them into poverty.

There is a ton that he can do with that information.

Still tells you where the concentration is highest for 'unfavorables'. After that a dragnet makes short work.

That would still be too much data from which they could extrapolate

Why the hell is this written in the cadence of a fucking Q drop?

National Guard is not the last resort. As it can be federalized, it's not even the best option here.

Several states have State Guards that answer only to the governor. The State Guard is usually little more than a legal framework rather than an operational militia, but that framework could be filled in pretty damn quick: Disband the National Guard units and offer the guardsmen transfers to the State Guard.

No way this administration will EVER withdraw ICE from an area of active occupation.

They already have from multiple cities. They've been focusing on one city at at time, trying to drive up the pressure and chaos by focusing their presence in one area.

Watch Walz's press conference on the 24th.

He is having a genuine human reaction to this. He looks and talked like he understands the stakes.

Unlike Schumer or Jeffries or Harris or the Obamas.

Politicians gonna not really give a fuck and lowkey imply that immigrants are dangerous.

Dehumanizing dangerous idiots and even down right evil selfish people is still wrong even if they are a dehumanizing cult faction. And it still ends in a net negative for humanity. That does not mean there is not justified consequences for people that cause harm.

Many of the MAGA people I've talked to irl are really really dumb and gullible in general, if it's not MAGA it would be something else. People in power are using that as an attack vector to gain power.

Fascism has always been a movement of near slighted weaponized stupidity
