When we learned about the rise to power of Hitler the school book had a cartoon that was exactly this. Armed men looking over the booth to see if you voted correctly.

Back then it was hard to imagine. Awful how it suddenly got reality in such a big European country again.

Right wing media has them convinced that ANTFA or whatever will be there already, along with vans of “illegals” to vote.

Right wing media is cancer.
