      Demonstration, intimidation, physically preventing anyone not wearing a MAGA hat from voting… Potato potato

        HA! Could you imagine if we all got together and bought red hats and Trump lost? There would be fucking chaos. The morons would be in the streets screaming about how they saw nothing but MAGA voters.

          Eight years in and I’m still pissed about those fucking hats. I have this nice red cap that a friend gave me almost 15 years ago. It was custom-made, and has a starburst image that a third friend created… and the cap base is the exact same shade of red as those fucking Trump hats, so I’ve not been able to wear it in public for 8 years.

            I had a coca cola hat that I used to wear. I gave up on it after the third person said they thought it was a MAGA hat at a distance.

            Why? Are you worried about offending some mouth breather?

            You’re looking at it the wrong way. You’re keeping morons away from you.

              Nah it’s a real thing. The baseball team here has red hats and you used to see them everywhere. You see a lot of team hats in not red now, it’s not about “offending some mouth breather” it’s about a person a block away seeing me in my red hat and assuming I’m the mouth breather.

              They ruined actual red hats faster than RedHat ruined a linux distro.

                You’re not getting it. The person assuming you’re a trump supporter because you have a red hat IS THE MOUTH BREATHER.

                Why do you care so much about what strangers think? If they assume then they are the assholes.

                It’s asshole mouth breather repellent.

                  You’re free to feel however you want. I live in a reasonably sized city with a thriving arts and music scene, I’d like be able to go out for meals and drinks and go to various events and have conversations and interactions with people without their first impression of me being “ohfuck ohfuck ohfuck” as they struggle to read my hat as I walk by.

                  That they’d steer clear of a MAGAt doesn’t paint them as a mouth breather in this day and age; it makes them seem wary and like someone I’d agree with.

      If you have the opportunity, vote-by-mail is genuinely awesome also. I qualify in my state because I’m chronically ill, and it’s one of the few silver linings. I get a ballot in the mail every time an election happens like clockwork, I have time to do my research and it’s significantly harder to forget.

        The MAGAs are attacking the election system in my state (Georgia) so hard that, at this point, I’m starting to worry about mail-in ballots being fraudulently thrown out because of false claims of signature mismatch.

      Remember, remember this fifth of November

      The insurrection, incitement, and plot.

      I see no reason

      That Donald Trump’s treason

      Should ever be forgot.

        Trump wouldn’t know who Guy Fawkes is. US Election Day falls on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. It’s just a coincidence it happens to be the 5th this year. My comment was mostly a direct reply to OP.

            It’s apparently a hold over from olden times when good Christian farmers weren’t going to skip church to travel to the county seat and vote. So Monday is a travel day and Tuesday is when you vote. Or something like that.

            Voting day and daylight savings time are the two immutable objects in American life.

            Edit: and both are catering to farmers. Those and corn subsidies are the 3 immutable objects in American life, all catering to farmers.

      This is reductionist, and ignoring the fact that trump is indeed, a domestic terrorist, regardless of whether or not the media has the balls to label him as such.

      He has instigated an attempted coup, that failed, but only because they weren’t prepared or organized, not for lack of actually performing the coup.

      And Nov 5th is the date Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the English parliament, so I think the OP has reason to post the similarities here.

      Downplaying trump’s ongoing domestic terrorism and violent rhetoric against his fellow Americans is just bolstering the fascist gameplan here.

        Idk what country you reside in, but mine (USA) was founded on being rogue, our independence was funded by robbing banks. The current system does not help, I haven’t met an actual Biden or Harris Supporter, it literally is only “fuck trump” support. You think you are making a stand against him, but the really sad part is for most USA people Biden failed so hard Trump is looking like a savior (I vote Chase Oliver). Meanwhile the media brainwashed you to call Americans terrorists for exercising their right to protest, literally the most American of rights 🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅

          You are falling victim to isolationism and siloed beliefs. You believe because you personally haven’t seen or talked to anyone in the last 5 weeks who supports Harris, that they either don’t exist, or are exaggerated by the media.

          Well, I’m a Harris supporter. All of my friends are. Everyone I’ve met in the last 20 days from plumbers to electricians to waiters have been Harris supporters.

          So now what do you do with that data?

          I can be both a Harris supporter, and a “fuck trump” person. They are not mutually exclusive.

          You appear to be falling into one logical fallacy after another here.

          Your whole pitch seems to be that think you’re patriotic for supporting an openly fascist party overthrowing our current democratic republic because one time, hundreds of years ago, we overthrew another monarchical/oligarchy government and established our current democratic republic?

          Are you even listening to your arguments, or are you just spouting whatever right wing rhetoric you picked up on the latest red pilled youtube video? Because it sounds like you’re supporting a fascist dictatorship in the name of “free speech”. I cannot even begin to tell you the number of things wrong with that viewpoint, mostly because I’ve got other things to do today and I get the feeling that you’re mostly trolling. At least I hope. Either way, you’re not worth any more of my time.

            I literally supported a third party candidate in my post and literally your whole last paragraph(and essentially your whole post) said nothing other than your wrong imma block you.

              No, I’d guess that you’re literally a trump supporter and are feigning interest in a third party candidate to make you seem more objective somehow.
