Trump supporter Betsy: "I'm getting a little bit nervous for election time in that if Trump does win, I'm afraid of violence, & I don't think there's any chance that Trump won't win unless it's massive voter fraud. So I've signed up to be a challenger, to watch out at the polls."

Besides, she's in New Jersey, a reliably blue state. What exactly is she going to challenge?

The only way there MIGHT be violence if Trump wins is if it's completely obvious that HE has massively cheated (and people like you, lady, will undoubtedly have contributed).

BTW, I thought all the 'voter fraud' was coming from mail-in ballots? So how the fuck are YOU going to do anything about that by taking up a post at the polling place on election day?

Just curious if you've actually thought this thru?

The ghost of Joseph Goebbels is absolutely chartreuse with unbridled envy: “If only the Fuhrer had a Fox Propaganda machine to repeat the lies!”

There are two kinds of people basically in North Korea.

1. Devoted loyalists who cry when they see Dear Leader and pray for his endless reign, thanking him for existing to lead them.

2. People who might secretly disagree and protest, but would fear for their safety and lives by expressing it. There are camps for that, of course.

Number one is that person's mentality. Fealty all the way! She has no idea what her vapid vacuity about what's going on will bring.

Number two is what we are all trying desperately now to avoid before we share a similar fate.
