With everything that has been happening in the United States, the rhetoric that has been common during the past year about the regressive leftists making sure that Trump will be re-elected in 2020 seems to actually be becoming reality, as Trump's approval rating and public image among non-regressive citizens seems to be on the raise.
If Trump reruns for president in 2020, I predict this: The extremist regressive leftists will become so desperate that they will actually start harassing, intimidating and even assaulting people at many voting places. It may even be that in some instances the voting place itself will be attacked and vandalized, requiring heavy intervention by the police.
If they have been compared to the so-called "brownshirts" (who were groups of fascist Nazi Party supporters in Germany in the 1930's who went around in gangs intimidating and assaulting people, especially at voting stations) in the past, it will be nothing compared to what it's coming, if Trump reruns for president. It will escalate by orders of magnitude.
And, of course, and as I have noted many times in this blog in the past, since apparently criminal activity is somehow legal in the United States if done in the name of "protesting", pretty much nothing will be done to these people by the authorities. A few of them might be taken to holding cells, only to be released without charge later (as has happened so many times already). Who knows, maybe at some towns the police will deliberately do nothing to stop this terrorism (as has also happened in recent years.) If this happens, there will be zero consequences for these police officers.

If that were to happen, it would probably be isolated in the areas where Antifa are congregated (pretty much cities along the west coast). Those states are already "lost" from an electoral college perspective, so there's really not much to be gained by harassing people there.
ReplyDeleteBut even if it were to happen, it's not like other harassment or property destruction, because:
1) elections involve the federal government, which can put use its enforcement powers in this case
2) voting locations tend to be in public school buildings. And since voting takes place mostly during school hours, the political (and criminal) consequences of not protecting them would be enormous.
