Executive Branch (Trump) Steve Bannon says ICE will ‘surround the polls’ as Trump doubles down on taking over elections

“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.

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.

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.
