It was fucking bizarre.
I watched the debate. Trump's exact statement was "Stand by and stand back." The Proud Boys were quick to put out a Telegram with those words as a slogan. And as a response to the last segment about voting, Trump's even used QAnon rhetoric about "Poll Observers." No doubt about intimidating people going in-person voting at poll stations.
I have read a few things lately that do make me a little apprehensive about going to the polls.
When I voted in the primary the line for Republicans snaked all throughout the library. When I arrived I was about number 10 in the Democrat line.
In front of the library, and where you couldn't get in without passing near them, was a group trying to hand out Republican literature and trying to pull people aside to speak to them. I didn't see evidence of any protection in case things got heated.
I have to wonder what next month will be like. Early voting starts the 13th of October and I don't qualify for mail in voting here in Texas.
