17. Good Idea But...

Thu Feb 5, 2026, 11:40 AM

Thursday

Who is going to enforce this? Local police and/or state national guard? So will there be gun battles between them and the start of a new Civil War fought over state's rights to run elections? ICE and company have already shown they are willing to kill citizens who they deem "domestic terrorists." So they will welcome the idea of this thin pretext for engaging in mass body count events using the full might of the Federal government armed against them. I hope the Dem leadership has a plan for this.
