There are already sheriffs who refuse to follow the law; so if a governor decides to start an insurrection who’s going to stop them? The state legislature? The state’s personal militias will have no oversight, no holds barred. They were told to stand back and standby til Jan 6th; and now they’re awaiting their battle instructions. They know they won’t get away with it, but their goal is chaos and confusion; and they’re hoping that, in the confusion, they actually get away with something. Demonstrating their hate for the government and hate for the authority of science is all they really want to do. But what they are actually doing is destroying their own country.
I don’t understand why the government isn’t pursuing these hate groups? because when they demonstrate, they are not protesting anything valid, they are just demonstrating their hate and they’re intimidating and harassing people and disrupting civil order. Maybe the people need to start complaining about how they feel unsafe? There should be a federal ban on Nazi symbols and hate symbols. Because locals aren’t enforcing city ordinances. They’re Nazis too
I'm something of a free speech absolutist, but yeah, it'd be nice to have a much more robust federal shield against speech that constitutes threats. Not to mention actions and ostensible government actions.
The constitution does not provide safeguards for fascist governors. “Congressional legislation gives the president powers to commandeer states and governors of states, if the president deems they are engaged in insurrection.” But.. it will be too late by then!
Apparently, when we created 50 states, or 13 colonies, we didn’t realize that Republicans would try to steal the country by stealing one state at a time; and now there is nobody to hold fascist governors accountable
All this voter suppression nonsense is the big question mark of this election. It's tough enough to do good polling, but when how voters plan to vote isn't even the criteria (when it comes to those votes actually being counted) it's really a murky situation. When Harris is up by 10% I'll relax...
If Abbott and Paxton want to break the law by breaking down doors and intimidating voters, I say the feds break down their doors and drag them into the street like the common criminals they are. Let every one of their constituents see them walk-of-shamed straight to federal prison. You want to learn to recognize fascism, people of Texas? These guys are showing us what it looks like.
Merrick Garland would have been an excellent Supreme Court justice, with his slow consideration of facts and deliberate decision making process. We needed a guard dog of democracy in the AG's seat. Right man, wrong place, wrong time.
If republicans can’t win fair and square…… they cheat and lie and steal to win. What a sad dystopia.

This was good news for North Carolina. Two of our election people quit because of harassment, and I was worried we would be Georgia'd.

Yup.

Is it too late to not have states?

Murky's a great word for it. Another variable: Turnout. I'm not sure WHAT number would make me relax, but mathematically it must exist...?!?

LULAC says they’re seeking DOJ intervention, so we should see swift action any year now!
