It's stuff like this that makes me afraid to go canvass, or do other volunteering this election. My anxiety is already pretty bad as it is; people with guns just makes it worse.

If you canvass with the Democrats, you don't visit Republicans. Instead of persuading Republicans, it's more effective for them to visit Democrats to remind them of early voting and vote-by-mail, and to help them make a plan to go vote.

Actually, around now is the perfect time to start canvassing, because historically as the election gets closer smart campaigns focus less on persuasion and more on just making sure supporters vote by November 8th.

This. And if anyone is still afraid of canvassing, then just do phone banks.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
another + for early voting in Ohio.

I just know there are going to be stories of lunatics out doing this in Hamilton County in southern Ohio and Cuyahoga County up north.
 
Oh right, thanks for the correction. ;)

Anytime..😁

Man, the crazy thing is if these guys weren't white this news story would be a lot more tragic.

No doubt..

Large amount of "others" in those areas i'm guessing?

If I see some protesters with Trump signs and guns while voting, I'll be really tempted to yell "I dare you to shoot me for voting you deplorable pieces of shit"

Please don't. While you have your right to say what you want, if you did what you just suggested you would endanger more than just yourself. Everyone near you in the voting lines would be in danger of being shot by the deplorables.

You're right, I would never say it, I'd be tempted to but I have an immense amount of self-control, besides, voting is enough of a counter-protest as it is.

Do you really think anyone is going to go shooting up polling venues?
 
I had a feeling Trump would end up igniting that domestic terror fire at some point.


You guys saw this yesterday, right?

3 US men (calling themselves Crusaders) planning on bombing a Mosque and an apartment building housing Somali refugees in Kansas shortly after election. At least 1 of them confirmed to be trump supporter. https://twitter.com/cjcmichel/status/787050885906038784/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

Trump is empowering Right-Wing Extremist Terrorism.

Yup. Domestic terrorism is a thing. Irony is too.
