Now 'firing squads' suggested by phony (think Maricopa) audit

Our County Commission just voted for an ‘audit’ by Echo Mail. Disgraced Professor gave presentation about it and included suggesting ‘firing squads’. Link to video at the end of this ramble.
I’m in hell it feels. A potential for violence-this is Cowboys for Trump country including Couy Griffin’s “…the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat..”

A friend who attended (former military law enforcement) said this: This is my work in progress, any thoughts?
"So I went to the election audit meeting last night and I think it is important to let everyone know what is happening and the imminent danger our community is in.

The speakers were David and Erin Clements, David is a known conspiracy monger who is affiliated with multiple national Q anon influencers to include Mike Lindell (owner of mypillow) and Gen Mike Flynn so this is not just the local bad actors and money at play here.

I'm not going to go into great detail but what they provided was absolute garbage, graphs and charts with no context or source, made up terms like "manipulated fractional data points" and a magic algorithm that controls all of our votes, all nonsense that they laid out like any pyramid scam with the audience including Couy and Vicki lapping it up.

I could go on and on about how everything they said was false and propaganda, their presentation is easily debunked but that is a waste of time in this situation because the believers are already convinced and beyond reason. What does need to be addressed is their larger plan and goals and the imminent threat this poses to our community.

This is an coordinated attack on democracy that is being pushed nation wide, it's happened in AZ, GA and MI to name a few. Their goal is to destroy public confidence in the democratic process and grooming those disenfranchised voters for future violence. Their tactics do not end with stupid legal challenges and fake audits to funnel money out of government to grifters, it includes harassment, threats, acts of physical intimidation and violence, up to and including domestic terrorist attacks like January 6th.

This is about election integrity but it's about saving it from those that are actively trying to destroy it under the guise of it. This is not politics, this is a fight against organized crime, domestic terrorism, this is a fight for survival, a fight for the very fabric and foundation of our country and our community."

At 2:10:50 to 2:11:10 is firing squad comment (I’ve been told-I can’t hear it): I’ll have to post the link of video in a comment.

If they drive a voter like you to go full Krakatoa on them, then they've succeeded in their goal of disrupting the voting. But if they face no consequence for interfering as you try to place your vote, then they also win.

It's a very difficult and dangerous situation that we face.

How can they say they are patriots who love America when they hate millions of actual Americans?

It is mind boggling how twisted their reality has become. I don't know how you even communicate with someone that far away from reality.

3. And 'we' have a phony elector...tied by family to Cowboys for Trump Couy Griffin
Wed Jan 26, 2022, 10:24 AM
Jan 2022

Somehow, these 'stories' get braided together in my head...and it's not a good thing at the moment. I'll bounce back of course, but I feel like we're at the center of potential violence...I can almost feel it.
NM phony elector politically ‘related to’ Cowboys for Trump founder Couy Griffin, of 1/6 notoriety.
“American Oversight has obtained copies of phony electoral vote certificates from seven states that were submitted to Congress as part of the failed attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election…”
Some have local Otero County NM ‘actors’….the signers of the phony electoral vote certificate from New Mexico include Anissa Galassini, Ford-Tinnin, daughter of Rocky Galassini, Treasurer and “… Galassini is the individual who recruited Couy Griffin for the job of County Commissioner and she became his treasurer and financial adviser…” Anissa is also the daughter of Gene Galassinni, retired NM State Police and Otero County Magistrate Judge….’retired’ or forced resignation? How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? https://www.nmjsc.org/2016/03/28/supreme-court-case-no-s-1-sc-35791-jsc-inquiry-no-2015-074/
Some may remember Anissa “…A former aide to Gov. Susana Martinez (R., N.M.) who was involved in the hacking of emails from the Martinez campaign and was implicated in the subsequent FBI investigation is now being used as a source for anti-Martinez articles in New Mexico.
The Santa Fe New Mexican last week published allegations made by former Martinez campaign aide Anissa Galassini-Ford that the governor’s office improperly used government databases against political opponents. The article on Ford’s claims was the paper’s cover story last Thursday and was featured on its website for much of the day…”
Or this: “…(Republican Party of New Mexico) Executive Director Anissa Galassini Ford Tinnin (famous for turning state’s evidence in the notorious stolen email case that sent her co-conspirator to federal prison for 9 months*) * The Federal Judge in the sentencing portion of the criminal proceedings also noted the incident in which Anissa and Jamie Estrada, under false pretenses, surreptitiously accessed the files and information in the Doña Ana Republican Party Headquarters to obtain information to use against the Republican candidate who was running for District Attorney, against Jamie and Anissa's Democrat client, the Democrat candidate for District Attorney, District 3.”

And this is what we as Dems must underscore in all our campaigning for 2022 and beyond. We're not going to convince the 'I wanna believe crowd,' the already hooked. We need to concentrate on our own voters first, stressing the Come to Jesus moment we're in. We need to appeal to disillusioned Indies, the ones that can see what the Youngkin & DeSantis clones are doing once they attain power with the help of the twisted money guys behind the scenes. We must give a nod to the Never-Trumper Republicans who recognized what this was from the start bc they helped grow it, nurture it, and then were horrified with the result.

We need to grow a coalition of pro-democracy warriors to fight the tide rising everyday, a coalition of barn cats, animals of every stripe willing to work together in common cause:

Push back the fascists before it's too late.

It can't happen here. It won't happen here. Until it does.

That's what these thugs are counting on.

in 2000 the election was openly and tragically stolen by Republikkkans. We did not fight it, "for the good of the country". They have been trying to overturn our democracy at every turn since. We better fight THEM as our lives depend on it. Put them down this time. No prisoners.
