When I first heard about the RW group threatening recall signers, I viewed it in the context of Voter id laws and my own experiences with the Wi gop.
When i was a recall petitioner, gathering about 700 signatures, I learned that intimidation was the norm. Open-carry was done to try to intimidate me as i sat peacefully in county parks in racine and kenosha counties. In Kenosha County, sheriff beth harassed us us as we exercised our rights. ( NOR and kenosha news reported on this).
If you have ever been involved in a conflict, you quickly realize that a head count is relevant. Due to the possibility of conflict that now exists at the polls we need to overwhelm them numerically at the polling place and the voting booth.
Based on what we could now possibly face, we should even consider transitioning this campaign into a Civil Rights Movement!
I am talking massive turnout among the referenced "rabid dogs" that are going to be shot by the nameless cowards. It is clear that they are threatening Dem communities.
The specific threat, by a specific group directed at a political demographic is real! We must meet it politically and with the understanding that numerical superiority is relevant at the polls and in a brawl. Because they are one in the same in Wisconsin.
It certainly would be ironic if the militia increased voter turnout in the very communities they tried to intimidate.
