Protestors with a permit teargassed on the way to vote.

Journal by DeathMonkey

In other totally-not-a-slide-into-fascism news, peaceful protestors who had a permit to march were teargassed on the way to vote.

Peaceful march to the polls in North Carolina is met with police pepper spray and arrests, causing outcry on eve of election

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.

    Don't you know that Trump has done more for blacks than any other President? He's like a woke superhero!

    I have heard Trump say that. In fact, Trump will always say he has done more for ${X} than any other president. Yet the blacks seem to overwhelmingly disagree for some odd reason? I can't imagine why. /sarcasm

    I'm still trying to figure out the meaning of "woke". I keep seeing that. I've recently figured out what "my bad" means.

    Trump has the highest approval rating! He approves of himself so much!

      Because - none of these people are black. Biden said so, so it must be so.

      Hmmm - the list is obviously not very inclusive, I don't see Kim Klacik on that page.

        This is an actual quote from the guy who is the president of your country:

        "Think of it: 151 countries. Somebody said to me today that wasn't in this particular world -- they didn't know that we had that many countries. A hundred and fifty-one countries. That's something."

        Defend that, go on, I dare you.

    Everyone says so, and look, just last week I had a black mother, strong woman, cries as she thanked me and just handed me this beautiful baby. I kissed it on the cheek and she started sobbing. Even a strong black mother was brought to tears by how much I've done for those people!
