And snark over a typo aside - I think this is a terrible idea. Having a bunch of armed soldiers standing around polling places will have a chilling effect.
On who? Because black Americans and their supporters have braved much worse recently.
Let’s have actual soldiers facilitating and overseeing the movement of people through the lines so that when the attempts at voter suppression start the poll volunteers don’t just call the cops on everyone trying to exercise their right to vote.
It’s really this bad. We actually need military assistance to vote. Trump is insane and will attempt to thwart the voting process. Trumpers are losing their minds over having to wear a mask in public, let’s see how many of them try and make the polls an active crime scene.
When the cops knocked that senior protester to the ground and he cracked his head open and began bleeding from his ear, it was two soldiers who went to his aid, wasn’t it? I still have faith in on the clock soldiers.
Where was it that they had one polling place for 600,000 people? Louisville.

All the ass-backwards, King of the Hill looking rejects standing around with their shotguns at the mere thought of black marchers (and their supporters) in “their” towns feel free as birds to act the fool. When their corpulent hero tanks at the polls and goes apeshit on Twitter live time what do you think they’re gonna do?
The funny thing is, had Kanye remained, he meets all their usual criteria:
Religious
Ultra successful businessman
Self-made
Family man
One marriage
Pro-life (apparently)
Doesn’t care what others think of him
Celebrity
Not a career politician
US birth certificate
Anti-vaxxer
Gun control
: "The problem is illegal guns. Illegal guns are the problem. Not legal guns. We have the right to bear arms." Trump only meets 5 of the 12. All those anchor babies of his should count against him with Republicans but somehow...
There’s just one thing that keeps those Trumper “Patriots” from seeing him as a viable candidate, clearly it’s not the instability... they eat that up... hmmm, what could it be?
Oh yeah, the last thing they want is a second black President.
I didn’t see
Black Panther because I’ve only seen one Marvel movie and that was just to eat popcorn, but West said he wanted to use Wakanda as a model and his party was the Birthday Party because when he won it would feel like everyone’s birthday.
