Let's be honest about unidentifiable federal officers

[WonderGrunion]

There is only one reason why Trump is sending unmarked federal officers into Democratically controlled cities to round up people that are assembling peacefully. This is an attempt to instill fear in these cities before election day. Trump wants Democratic voters to be afraid they will be rounded up while waiting in line at polling stations in November. He has devolved to the point that he feels his only path to re-election is armed voter suppression.

We have truly entered the fascist age of Trumpism.

1. Trump is the one who should be afraid.

Americans don't take kindly to intimidation. We will show up in a massive tsunami to punish him.

2. Damn straight, we will!!

3. Our Oldest Son

worked as a Security Guard for a couple years. Believe the company was called Waggonhut or something like that. One of his stints was the Federal Court House in MPLS. G-4,C-4?

The name has changed but they still have Federal Building Door Shaker Protection jobs.

Minimum wage people carrying Guns,what the hell is wrong with that picture.

9. Wakenhut. Formed in South Florida in the 50's

I’m familiar with them because I spent a lot of time in SoFla and that name was everywhere.

Now it’s G4S

12. Thanks,

G4S runs front end Security here at SS Office as well as the Fed Building.

Worse assignment he had was Railroad Bull on the night shift at the CP yard in North Minneapolis. Armed with only a Flashlight in all kinds of weather.

4. I hope no democratic voters are stupid enough to believe that. Silly. nt

5. He's trying to generate reactions

Portland is the perfect place, because antifa are very reactive.

The reactions then make an impression on swing voters in the mid-west. He then uses the footage in commercials.

"Democrats will allow the US to descend into anarchy"... It's right out of Karl Rove's playbook.

7. Antifa is bullshit.

10. BS or not, the group in Portland are reactive

6. The trouble for Trump is that he is dealing with Democrats...not yellow bellied

cowardly Republicans who are afraid of their own shadows.

8. Normalizing this so when he rolls it out to swing state polling places it will seem normal

I expect them to try to shut down crucial Dem polling places in swing states on November 3rd

Want to vote?

You can't because there are armed Gestapo in your way who will teargas you.

Don't say it can't happen. It can.

13. The good thing is

Oregon votes by mail, as does Washington state where I live.

14. There is a second reason

The administration is running its own 'Jade Helm' operation; an actual live-fire (so to speak) engagement of an enraged populace.

It is practice for the planned Autumn occupation for Wall Street. One might say "It's miller time'.

The near future will be an unjustified uncivil war (no war is civil) of more than just words.

15. That is going to backfire spectacularly on him.

I don’t give a shit what he does. I plan to protect myself from SARS-COV-2 while I vote in November.
