Extraordinary how much of the media is essentially trying to incite rioting now. Not just legitimise or normalise but actively encourage. It is, of course, unlikely to kick off anywhere near them.

Its sad that it’s a It’s a bipartisan effort too The red party pisses off americans intentionally The blue party does nothing and instead just helps organize protests to push people into the streets which encourages riots So the red party has justification to send law enforcement

The only thing that would be effective to make a difference is to push voting schedules in every nook and cranny of the web and use targeted ads to update people on when to register/vote for their local, county, state, and federal elections Make it practically impossible to miss the voting info

Of course they are? I don't find it extraordinary that the vendors of utter lies would incite trouble? It gives them something to froth about, which in turn sells more of their tripe to brain dead idiots. The Press know that there won't be any repercussions for them either. No charges. Free ££££.
