That said everyone should wear red and then vote blue when they drop off their ballots!

wtf is that?

I would imagine it's time to have progressive/democratic/whatever other parties show up with weapons at the drop boxes. A tit for tat type thing, childish but doable.

If the sheriffs show up to chase the liberal side away they would have to do the same to the pukes.

This happened in Philadelphia PA, 2000 if I"m not mistaken and it was called "intimidation" because the poll watchers were POC with firearms.
