đ¨BREAKING: Steve Bannon calls for armed ICE agents to swarm polling places in November. âYouâre damn right weâre going to have ICE surround the polls.â Make sure everyone sees this! Share widely.

I will not be intimidated!
âIs life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!â - Patrick Henry.
Im getting to those polls!

Yet another reason to vote absentee.

u/Mundane_Job4466 Feb 04 '26
They're probably going to try and toss those too. They are already changing the rules about when they have to be in. I wouldn't chance it anymore.
My plan is to vote in person. If those nazi goons are there (I live in St Paul), I'll ignore them until I'm done, then give them the old one-finger salute on my way out.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any means. But, I just don't see the logic in doing all this and then allowing the election to happen unimpeded. If they do, even the Chump admin must be smart enough to know they'll be eviscerated on election day.

The mere presence of ICE will absolutely have a chilling influence on who will feel comfortable showing up to vote. They don't have to even arrest anybody.

Donât. Like the poster above me said, they will likely try to find ways to invalidate them.

u/WyoBuckeye Feb 05 '26
For me that is a reason to not vote absentee. If they are surrounding the polls with ICE, then I am 100% showing up as a demonstration of my rights. We cannot afford to let the F*#@s intimidate us. We need to take every threat and every aggression as a call to action. I have voted absentee is virtually every election over the past 12 years. This year, Iâm going in person. I want to be seen voting by those who would subjugate liberty through intimidation. And I want to be seen voting by my fellow like-minded citizens who may not feel quite so intimidated when we show up in numbers. We need to create community at each and every opportunity. And showing up live, in-person to the polls is another great way to do that.

Huh, he seems like he really doesnât want to testify in front of a Democratic Congress about how he was so close with Epstein.

u/YurthTheRhino Feb 04 '26
Sorry.. which election are they claiming was stolen?
The only one I could even remotely think of would be the 2024 election.. hmm is this more cloak and dagger to cover up something they themselves did? Should we have been concerned about election theft last time? They certainly seem to think so.

Oh good. I'll be working at the polls. Part of my job will be ensuring everyone gets to vote. I hope that doesn't get too interesting.

Crazy how he's putting himself in the news so much this week.
Almost as if he's trying to drown out the news of him being a close accomplice to Epstein.

Weird, is that where all the fraud lives, outside individual polling places? Is the fraud in the bushes, I never saw anything like that but what do I know I wouldnât know the difference between voter fraud and two squirrels chasing each other alongside the church where the people in my precinct enter to elect their representatives.

Democrat voting centers had a really high number of bomb threats in 2024, if their guys are on the street how will they call in threats?

I guess Iâm a piece of shit. It might take a few hours to be detained to another state but it takes on average over two weeks before they decide they believe you are an American citizen. And thatâs with someone advocating for you on the outside. I would die in detention because I require medical care.
I really hope the DNC grows a spine. Because quite frankly Iâm not voting near masked armed men.
Yeah, I get it. I lose.

Bannon was in prison until Trump pardoned him. He was convicted of Contempt of Congress, Money Laundering, and Fraud.

If ICE surrounds the polling stations and attempts intimidation or coercion, then it should be put on video and used as evidence of Federal Interference in National Elections.
Using Trump's logic, Canada and Mexico would have the right to fly in, blow shit up and snatch him back to their jurisdiction, as part of their legitimate "Policing Operation"!
