You guys are really going to have to start acknowledging that if Trump wins again you'll probably need to remove him by force.

If he wins it's absolutely not legitimate

November is gonna be a nationwide shitshow like no other before it if Trump keeps this up.

We're talking a full next-level upgrade above George Floyd protests.

Wouldnt soldiers being disenfranchised hurt Trump? I feel like Military leans more republican.

Still awful as shit that you pretty much wont vote.

Drop off your vote, instead of mailing it. Also states could choose to use a different method of transporting the votes, they don't have to use the USPS.

It's kind of ironic really, since the American people are the most heavily armed exactly to prevent this sort of thing.

It's not

There's like 8 black homeowners in this subdivision, including my wife. Most of the people here are old white people who were pretty friendly to me when moving in and then when I introduced my wife to them they randomly stopped talking to us

So I'm sure our polling place will be open for business

Like what Rexdragon said, it's mostly the boot lickers and fascism/authority lovers who got most of the guns. Generally speaking liberals hate guns though more further left types are usually fine with them. I've been saying it's the left who needs to be how these supposed tyranny fighters are, but even if people start to come around, I'm afraid it will likely be too late.
