Thugs, some of them from the “Patriot Movement,” Q’Anon, and Three Percenters, created a stir last night at the Maricopa County Recorder Center, yelling “Fox Sucks,” for calling Arizona for Biden, calling for the people to count ballots that were written in Sharpie (Newsflash: They were and are,) and espousing right-wing conspiracy theories when a Pizza Delivery arrived.
Some of these individuals were armed.
People, many of them volunteers, charged with counting the people’s ballots, should not have to worry about their safety and possibly need security to escort them to their vehicles.
Legislative District 16 State Representative (and newly elected State Senator) Kelly Townsend and House Congressional District Four Representative Paul Gosar were among the speakers marching and encouraging these individuals.
What do the voters in those areas see in those two insults to public service?
While these thuggish idiots were engaged in protesting a voting controversy that did not exist, their kindred spirits in other parts of the country like Michigan were attempting to brawl their way into voting centers to stop vote counts.

Ignorant thugs like these should be arrested for trying to circumvent the democratic process.
Clearly, these morons had no idea before the Chief Executive Demagogue said out loud, that it sometimes takes days to count votes.
Why these people have not figured out what a calamity Mr. Trump has been for the country is astonishing.
What part of over 230,000 dead people from COVID 19, over 20,000 lies to the American People, a depressed economy, caged children, impeachment, immigrant women made to undergo hysterectomies, the science denial about climate change, and David Duke endorsing Trump twice do they not get?
Hopefully, the majority of the country will get their say this year and the Popular Vote Winner will actually take the Presidency and he will punish these domestic terrorists instead of coddling and encouraging them.
This country has a very long history of denying people their right to vote.
Mobs and thuggery are nothing new either.
All it means is that we haven’t come as far as some would like to think.
And all this talk about unifying the country is a pipe dream.
Oh, yeah, remember this…

Please don’t forget that the GOP prevented 750,000 predominately Black Floridians from participating in this election.

“Why these people have not figured out what a calamity Mr. Trump has been for the country is astonishing.”
Well, not too astonishing, we have to remember that RW media, especially Fox & Limbaugh, have spent decades brain washing them. Though for the majority of these people, to paraphrase Eugene McCarthy referring to George Romney, “…a light rinse would suffice.”
In other developments it looks like we’re finally getting the white trash out of the White House!
The right wing Twitterverse is one big booming echo of crazy today, and that includes POTUS and his sons, and all the prominent right wing media folks.
Trump and his family are laying waste to America on their way out.
