Maybe only us. Not just DUers but voters.

The electeds are fighting but if there are gaps in organizing we need to fill them.

Democracy has to become a verb.

You can plug it into your laptop USB, and use it as an ancillary keyboard.

Those guys are just warming up to defend Trump from the will of the voters. I predict intimidation, chaos and actual violence in their efforts to disrupt the vote. I picture them in groups 100 feet from a polling place, asking the browns and blacks for proof of identity. Pro democracy patriots will confront them. Scenes will get ugly. They’re armed, untrained, with a sense of that they can get away with anything.

ICE will start snatching brown people out of line.

Scuffles will ensue, arrests made, some MAGA asshat will pull a gun out, then martial declared in Phoenix or some such.

It’s coming and we must be ready.
