19. Bombing the polls is truly desperation.

You cannot target specific voters based on appearance without creating a backlash. Voter suppression became such a thing iit has in my case strengthened my resolve to vote. What this might do is to make it possible to say voting is just too dangerous to continue. The hope for the orange ass may be cancel the election even that will create unknown consequences.
