Trump is on the record. Last night he called on the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.” We all know what that dog whistle means.
How can we can we stand tall and stand strong against the white supremacist and adhere to the principles of John Lewis, Martin Luther King and Mahatma Ghandi? My thought is to create an external protective line that embraces and protects all individuals in line at polling places as they wait to cast their votes. (Similar to the lines created by Powerful Moms of Portland) Interfering with the voters’ constitutionally protected right to vote will require the Proud Boys to break our ranks, get into our masked faces, commit a crime against our persons and, hopefully, cause their arrest. This is not a plan without risk. I think our Democracy is worth it. All American seeking to cast their vote are worth it.
