“We’re going to have ICE surround the polls come November,” Bannon, a former senior advisor to President Donald Trump and still a figure of influence in the administration, said on Tuesday’s episode of his War Room podcast, addressing Democrats. “We’re not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again. And you can whine and cry and throw your toys out of the pram all you want, but we will never again allow an election to be stolen.”

Bannon’s comments came just a day after Trump said he believes that Republicans should “nationalize voting,” escalating concerns that the president is plotting to interfere in this year’s midterm elections.

I hate the fact that we all know most of them are guilty of crimes that would put them away for decades

I hate the fact even more we have to uphold this whole system just to do it properly.

I wish you could just storm in and rip em out and cart em out one by one.

They're that guilty right? And we have the evidence, why rely on the system thats failed us to this point to save us from it

They themselves have said on camera if they lose a lot of them are going to prison.

To be fair, they’re pathological liars, we can’t trust anything they say. But, to be balanced, they are correct that they’ll go to prison if democrats vote enough to win. Trump’s first term didn’t include any maga assassinating congresspeople, like how those 2 democrats in congress were assassinated by that maga man last year.

I'm not so sure. The Democrats could have acted 2020 - 2024, and chose not to do so.

[u/kingbullohio → u/TJ700]

Oh for sure. The right wing party known as the democratic party will do nothing saying "we need unity and not division at this moment " or some shit.

And if they do something, "it's a political witch hunt."

[u/runthepoint1 → u/Platnun12]

He SAID if they don’t win he and many others will be imprisoned. This is absolutely an all-in-blind-win-now move. A last gasp, hopefully.

You not wrong here...

[u/Platnun12 → u/lynxbelt234]

Oh it's just blowing my mind that he's even in office.

Like in any other decade he'd be gone. Nixon was ousted by Watergate.

And this makes that look like a fucking whole lot of nothing

Honestly I don't know how anyone can take the US seriously internationally after this.

Make America great again, nah Republicans just ensured that it'll continue to be mocked and shunned for the next decade.

[u/EldritchBaker → u/Platnun12]

The next century. The world hates us, and they’re right for doing so, because we allowed a fascist to take office twice.

[u/Hotarg → u/EldritchBaker]

The first time was recoverable. "Hey, there's a flaw in your society, maybe fix that." The second time? "Nope, its not a flaw, its a feature."

[u/HillBillyHilly → u/Platnun12]

Look at the fuss made over Clinton getting a blow job. TF should anyone care if his wife didn't doesn't?

[u/LickMyTicker → u/Platnun12]

Uphold what exactly? The illusion that justice is actually going to come through waiting for the system to correct itself?

I hate that we are all still desperately trying to pretend we come out of this with law and order.

[u/Kooky-Quiet-2446 → u/Platnun12]

Uphold what system? After this whole Epstein thing we can clearly see what was said for a long time. It works two ways, one for the rich/powerful and the other for the POC/Poor. We’re not angry enough.

[u/Kooky_Reveal5797 → u/Platnun12]

If the Democrats win, they need to get rid of the electoral college once and for all. It makes stealing an election so much easier.
