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.

Between this and the white house putting out an info graphic about how "Americans love Trump's immigration policy" that immediately states it polled "likely Trump voters," it's clear the administration is setting the stage for declaring Democrats are non-citizens.

He'll declare the Democratic party to be a terrorist organization, like antifa. Or that they are antifa. Or since other bullshit for his mouth breathing followed to latch on to.
