An opinion I pretty firmly hold is that everyone should make a song, paint a painting, act in something, and write a book even if all of those things end up being objectively terrible

My expectation for this is they'll make a big show of rolling out the goon squad outside a handful of locations, the states will seek and likely get emergency injunctions, and meanwhile the whole spectacle will only motivate way more people to show up and vote in defiance than are scared away.
I understand folks are scared but I want you to think about the mechanics of this.
There are more polling places (>100k) than ICE and CBP agents combined, so they can only pick a few districts to try to intimidate.
Now what happens when cell phone footage of that goes online in the early morning?

Why do I suspect that when something actually becomes popular and effective on a nationwide basis, certain groups that call themselves “leftist” will move to crush it?
1. Some of them are an op. Or:
2. That meme about wanting to ceaselessly critique power rather than wield it for good works.

I once knew of a captain who accidentally transposed two of the numbers on a grid coordinate and called down an artillery strike on his own base.
This is just as stupid and self destructive a useage of violence.

One of the earlier smartphone personal videos I saw, shown to me by a battle in the waning days of my enlistment, was a clip of some drunk dude arguing with his girlfriend, and I'll never forget one of his inane ramblings: "I'm a grown adult, I'll do whatever I want, I'll shit my pants.... 🧵 1/x

Anyway the real heroes of Minnesota are the countless volunteers doing boring shifts where nothing happens. The mom of three delivering food to 40 families in her kids’ school. The dad standing at the door of an elementary with a whistle for hours. The drivers endlessly looping, seeing nothing.

In order to win, Dems will need centrist votes. You know what centrist voters love? Calm streets, and 2% inflation. You know what centrists see right now? Expensive groceries and CBP lawlessness, especially in Minneapolis.
Why would you start lighting dumpsters on fire now. They are losing voters!!
