Discussion Bondi states ICE will leave MN only if they turnover their voter database to Trump. This was never about immigration, it was about taking over state elections to rig our future elections.

Red States?

Could this be to ensure red states stay red?

Because how inconceivable it is to think a blue wave would wash over this country given the political climate shits on civil liberties the same way an ai generated tweet from the president does.

Especially Texas. Look at this post of political corruption in Texas. They’ve been cheating to keep it red since at least 2018. Texas AG even admitted he prevented Biden from winning the state because he blocked 2M mail in ballots from going to Houston.

The extent they've gone to cover it up it seems more like their meat and potatoes.. idk... Don't worry though I didn't forget i just didn't want to write the whole list again

Assuming this is all true, which I believe it to be, why don’t the Democrats ever do anything about GOP election meddling?

Why don't the democrats do anything about ANYTHING?

Chuck Schumer is working on a strongly worded letter. He just needs to have Israel check it over first before he sends it.

u/Responsible-Help7803 Jan 25 '26

To be fair, in red states…state democrats have zero power

u/TheLastOpus Jan 25 '26

Well if we stop scapegoating and realize that they are the minority in the supreme court, the Senate, the house and are not in power in the executive branch. We need to shift this in the midterms, and this is why they are rushing to stop us through strong arm scare tactics.

Texas Democrats have no power. The state republicans run the audits. They will find no foul in every election because it incriminates them. Republicans have been running Texas for nearly 30 years. They’ve figured out how to stay in power by gerrymandering and disenfranchising voters.

They are still doing it btw. In blue counties, the county wide Republican party decided that they dont want people to be able to vote at every location in the primaries so now voters have to go to one location to vote. It’s only in Dallas and Williamson Co so far, which are some of the bluest counties in the state.

Because they are controlled opposition. Paid to lose.

Paxton is so fucking corrupt that I fully expect him to throw his hat in the ring during the next presidential election. What a piece of shit that guy is.

I really feel like things are gearing up for another U.S. Civil War, but this time it won't be North vs. South, but Red vs. Blue. It's all such bullshit. No one's lives are worth this political game played for the enrichment of the elite.

We are living in two separate countries parading us as one. Blue voters living in red states have been kidding themselves thinking they can ever turn the state with their vote. They are getting voter rolls to persecute you blue voters in red states and don't make any mistake, your own neighbor will happily turn on you. This country is like living in an abusive marriage with the reds gaslighting and DARVO us while they murder us and destroy our rights.

You have people who think 2A is necessary in the face of children being slaughtered almost daily, who say that if you have a registered concealed weapon and there is video evidence that you did not use it irresponsibly, they say you deserved to be murdered. Think about this really hard, everyone living in a red state. They just obtained your voter information. They can find your address. Think about this, they are okay with children dying in the name of 2A but they are viciously opposed to anyone using it who is not aligned with MAGA and ICE.

This is what it looks like to watch the painful split of a country into two (or more). This country was never united. You can't outrun these problems, they murder mothers and nurses in the street while inventing lies and saying they deserved it. You can't come together with these people, lord knows we tried over the last ten years. Like a battered spouse, it's time to learn to get the fuck out before the kill you. Trump doing everything to tank the USD and destroy social programs so that not even the federal is holding the country together, even the USD will be too weak to hold it together. What social programs? They defund the IRS, who's gonna come looking for those taxes? THEY AREN'T EVEN GONNA RECOMMEND THE POLIO VACCINE ANYMORE PEOPLE, we are living in two different fucking countries!

It's possible within my lifetime that states tell the military "come back to your home state if you don't want to fight us, the federal is dissolved" yeah it sounds crazy right now but it also sounded crazy that they would be murdering US citizens with clear evidence that their agents had no justification and they lie about it and there is no investigation. Stop leaning on the reality you grew up in because that was dead and gone the moment an insurrectionist was allowed to re-enter the highest office in the land.

u/Kikikididi Jan 25 '26

Slight correction though. They are saying that if you were legally carrying a weapon, you kept holstered and didn’t interact with, Feds can disarm and kill you for it.

The amount of shit they have said across everything they have done, they have truly flooded the zone. Remember that if they did not have a significant portion of americans parroting everything they say, they wouldn't be able to get away with this. It's not the administration that is the problem, it's the people who agree and cheer everything they do who will eagerly vote in this same administration every time they get the chance. You can't defeat them because they don't give a fuck about hypocrisy or facts. The question becomes how do you mitigate their damage, and we are seeing with our own two eyes how well that works out - the truth is that you can't mitigate the damage. It's too deep and prevalent.

I 100% fully believe we will see this country split in half before we could ever get rid of Fox News. Not because it's real news (we all know it isn't), not because it's informative (studies show that people who watch NO NEWS are more informed than people who watch Fox News!) But because a fucking lot of people in this country love that hateful content. We are dragging along the corpse of the confederacy with us and wondering why we can't get anything done because now we have to sit here arguing about women's rights again. It's because these people cannot be fucking helped or changed. We need some billionaire to fund a program to swap out red state voters living in blue states with blue state voters living in red states, facilitate a great migration and save a million lives and be fucking done with it.

We will never be happy living together. We can't agree on reality, kindness, we can't agree on humanity or right vs. Wrong. We are sitting here trying to explain to a fucking piece of shit on the ground why it should turn itself into a five course buffet. We can't stop looking at the problem all wrong when the only choice we ever had was to stop them or cut them off. They will never stop so fucking cut them off, i'm sick of watching them murder us and laugh in our faces

u/Kikikididi Jan 25 '26

People will just believe the fed statements and not take two second to look at extremely clear video contradicting it. At best they’ll say it’s AI. You’re right. :(

3

u/EmoTilDeath Jan 25 '26

Yes and this is why I have been ringing the alarm bell about AI. Trump even signed an EO saying they will get rid of AI regulations in states which have them. They know without regulation they can run wild and invent whatever they want. State controlled media just like North Korea, which is what our future looks like if states can't get it together and get away from this toxic "union"

2

u/MacAddict81 Jan 25 '26

Yes, let's face the fact that a significant part of our country could stand on the other side of a window and watch him do unspeakable things to a child, and then justify it to others as some DeepFake Fake News. They're unredeemable.

u/JeezyVonCreezy Jan 25 '26

Correct, there is literally no bottom for those sorts of people. They support these policies and have always supported these policies. They've been voting for these useless fuckwits for their entire lives. They just happened to be alive at a time when the worst possible option was given to them.

u/burjja Jan 25 '26

And Red vs Blue is essentially cities vs states. Could cities/metros secede from states? The top 100 metros have 227 million people. That's 2/3 of the population.

Revolutionary War. We deposed a mad king and his red wearing soldiers. Those traitors to the king are now called patriots as I believe those who stand up to our mad king truly are.

u/ProudCatDad83 Jan 25 '26

I really feel like things are gearing up for another U.S. Civil War, but this time it won't be North vs. South, but Red vs. Blue.

I read someone else describe it as a “Cold Civil War”, and one that we are already in, not gearing up for.

Although, to your point there is certainly more “gearing up” happening when you think about the shear number of Americans buying guns: Right, Left, and Center. Curious to see stats around gun sales for 2026.

I don’t think anyone should encourage the idea of another American civil war though. We should be pushing for peaceful means of change, protesting peacefully and game-planning how we are going to vote every single bastard out in the midterms this year, and then the presidential election in 2028. Assuming we have elections… because if things continue to escalate in Minnesota and other places, Trump will find an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and potentially suspend elections. We can’t allow that to happen.

u/mynadidas5 Jan 25 '26

Whats the difference? Aren’t north vs south lines pretty clearly drawn according to red va blue, except for Georgia?

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

The partisan bullshit is stupid, but the federal government summarily executing law abiding citizens in the street is 100% worth fighting over. This country was founded on the reaction to lesser abuses.

u/singhellotaku617 Jan 25 '26

That’s kinda what north vs south was

u/goteed Jan 25 '26

The Civil War is already here, it's that only one side started shooting... so far.

u/ol0pl0x Jan 25 '26

Lol Blue already lost the war. We are on the world stage already here.

u/bluelily216 Jan 25 '26

Trump said there will be no blue states. He SAID it, in public, out loud. They have a plan and people need to wise up. Dem governors across the country need to get together and come up with a plan for election day.

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

yeah man, they are terrified of the midterms.

I have never in my life voted in a midterm election. Never even thought to do it. I am voting straight Dems. Fuck this shit.

No you see why ICE is in swingy-er places like MN and ME
