2. You're making predictions with certainty, where there is none

You can’t use Bannon’s master-level trolling as evidence to support your fearmongering assertions, especially when the math doesn’t add up.

3000 ICE agents couldn’t control the city of Minneapolis, despite spreading chaos and terror, and there definitely aren’t enough to impact every blue leaning polling place in the nation. (And with Dem over performance in recent special elections, the number of blue leaning precincts is growing and becoming increasingly unpredictable)

The likelihood of ratfuckery and shenanigans is high, to be sure, but to presume this administration’s potential authoritarian actions will be accepted without pushback is the epitome of defeatist Doomerism.

The stakes are indeed high, which is why it is critical to never forget this one absolute truth:

Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless

The people of Minneapolis are just the most recent example of this truth.

Nothing can stop the Blue Tsunami coming this November
