Keep in mind that because they have nothing to lose from wrecking everyone and everything to lose if they don't try, this election — and the whole fight against fascism — is an asymmetric battle. We have to win this election •three times• over:
1. At the ballot box
2. In the courts
3. On the streets
…and that’s just the election. #uspol

@inthehands As on #Jan6, it is law enforcement that needs to deal with their violence. Street brawls play into their hands.

I don’t trust LE to handle this unsupervised, especially local police, since so many of them are themselves outright fascists. I’m hopeful that we have better security planning this time that we did in 2020, that the people working security are actually vetted, and that we have a population ready to march in the streets in support of democracy if necessary. But truly, I don’t know what to expect or how to handle it.
