    “Is there anybody here who’s going to vote for lyin’ Kamala?” Trump asked his rally attendees. “Actually, I should say don’t raise your hand, it would be very dangerous. We don’t want to see anybody get hurt. Please don’t raise your hand.”

    Trump is fully aware that his supporters will engage in political violence, and that what he says (or refuses to say) has an impact on said violence. DoJ, take note for when he encourages another mob to engage in violence on his behalf and then acts like he wasn’t doing exactly that.

      I’ll be at my local polling place with my concealed Colt .45, with my AR in the truck.

      Let the red hats fuck around.

      Libs: Time to stop pointing fingers and clutching pearls. Be there! It will be wild!

      (I’m no badass, but I’m experienced, know the local laws and can shoot quite well enough. And I will be scared shitless, but I’ll have some up-close conversations with anyone seeming to intimidate voters.)

        Be careful about that. It’s not legal to conceal carry at a polling place in Florida even with a CCW. I’m not sure where you are but the gun laws in FL are relatively lax; so just double check before.

          Not possible. Liberals and dems always face punishment while Republicans violate every rule and law

      They’re at a Trump rally, of course they’re all going to vote for Trump. The only reason to tell the non-existent people not to raise their hand is to normalize violence against the opposition.
