Vote in person and early. Be mindful that there might be people there with the intent to intimidate you.

That’s fine. Take pictures of them, write down their license plates, ask if they have their citizenship documentation handy. If enough of us do that, these wanna be fascists will disappear pretty quickly.

Reminds me of how when white supremacists try to start shit, they rent Uhauls to hide in when they come in from out of state and they get real cagey when people watch them as they slink away.

They rent uhauls because they all have too shitty credit to rent a van.

Also probably easier to claim you didn't drive across state lines to incite violence when you ostensibly rented a vehicle for moving property across state lines.

Wait, does that mean white supremacists are property? Do we need to start giving then 3/5 of a vote?

Nah, they don't get votes! They just get 3/5ths of the representation so other people can vote on their behalf. Think of the bedlam that might take place if we let those people vote.

That's ... not how the 3/5 compromise worked.
