But I can also see rabid trumpanzees changing the vote with their own bad behavior. I can see them, for example, marching around polling places, armed to the teeth (open carrying, obviously), threatening anyone who "looks" like a biden voter (which means they'll shoot at anyone who's black or hispanic or visibly LGBT). I even remember reading an article a while back about a trump supporter breaking into a mailbox and throwing out the mail because he heard that democrats are more likely to mail in ballots. If these kinds of stunts keep happening, I could see Trump easily "winning" simply through grass roots voter suppression.
This election is going to be a doozy. I'm honestly afraid what's going to happen in a week.
This might sound silly, but what about Democrat voters wearing Trumpish "camouflage", yet with a small almost unnoticeable to the trumpanzees (love that word, btw) marker that they're actually gonna vote Biden? Or is that just a silly stretch? IDK.
If any, I'd imagine a lot of Democrat voters having a MAGA hat handy in the off case they get their "loyalties" questioned. I would. I certainly have to camouflage my lack of beliefs where I live in public from time to time.
