We literally can't allow the people we know who don't agree with Trump to not vote in November

We all have to become pains in the ass about this. Ask direct questions. Find out who is and is not already registered. Make sure people check to see if they have been purged from the roles in time to reverse it if they have been. We should all carry around registration applications.

In every election there are people who "intended to vote" but for one reason or another fail to do so. We have to hold each other accountable on this, and we should all carry around applications for absentee voting to give out as needed.

We must make this very personal. It is up to each and every one of us to not allow anyone we know of voting age, who disagrees with what Trump is doing, to not vote this November. We have to directly ask and we can't just take "Yes" for an answer until we are sure that means "Hell yes!"

THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO VOTE. Are you registered? Here's how to find out:
Need to register? Here's how:
Need a ride to get your ID?
Do you know where to vote? Need a ride to vote? Etc.
In a real democracy people are *encouraged* to vote and make their voices heard!

for this shitshow, ever escape scorn and ridicule.

They shouldn't be able to go anywhere without someone calling them out for supporting racism and corruption.

They need to be hounded into wearing sackcloth and ashes and scourging themselves in the public square
