In other totally-not-a-slide-into-fascism news, peaceful protestors who had a permit to march were teargassed on the way to vote.
They have elections in all those shithole dictatorial countries too. They just make sure the wrong people don't vote.
The participants in Saturday’s “I Am Change” march had intended to conclude at an early-voting site to emphasize turnout in the final days of the presidential campaign. Those plans were thrown into disarray when law-enforcement officers in riot gear and gas masks insisted demonstrators move off the street and clear county property, despite a permit authorizing their presence.

Did you know there is this thing called "early voting" ?
My family voted a couple weeks ago. It was quiet. Convenient. Not too long of lines. Everyone following protocol of masks, hand sanitizer, etc. Everyone polite. Calm.
Tomorrow? We will be hunkered down in safety. Sadfully we can't do what we did last time. In 2016, we voted early and made sure we were in Walt Disney World on election day, because it is a good safe space. Princesses and fairies. Colorful parades. Loud music. Lots of fun rides. Especially Mission Space (orange).
