Armed militia, politics and what happens next

| November 14, 2024 1:00 AM

In response to the Nov. 5 general election: I guess women and doctors will be prosecuted and jailed for private medical decisions concerning their own bodies.

If this or next year's state militia bill is passed (which it probably will be) then I guess armed racist ultra-right-wing militia will maraud through our streets like they did  June 2, 2020, only now every day. Militia members may be deputized as law enforcement. Militia could be able to surround our polling stations intimidating opposing voters. Worst of all armed militia may be able to camp out in front of your home if you are a "liberal," political enemy, if you live an alternative lifestyle or they simply don't like you. 

And, of course, I suppose Trump will pardon all the Jan. 6 extremists and all future extremists during his tenure. All of this will be legal. How do you stop this? You can't! Can somebody help me because I'm out of ideas?
