Speaking at a campaign event in Iowa, Trump said it was important to scrutinize the vote in the battleground states likely to determine the general election. He singled out the biggest cities in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

"So the most important part of what's coming up is to guard the vote. And you should go into Detroit and you should go into Philadelphia and you should go into some of these places, Atlanta," Trump said in Ankeny, a suburb of Des Moines.

Trump's comments foreshadow what is likely to be a contentious election in November 2024. Despite the failure of dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies challenging the outcome in 2020, Trump continues to claim, without evidence, that he lost to U.S. President Joe Biden due to fraud.

What are they going to do, shoot me?

Edit: I doubt it. These people are pretty stupid. I'm a fat middleclass WASP. I Look like them. They won't bother intimidating me. I'll vote just fine. If I can go in without fear, I will escort my LGBT+ neighbors, black friends, and disabled relatives through those doors to make sure they can vote if they don't vote early.

If they do shoot me? I feel bad for my family, but I don't want to live in a country where I am not able to use the single form of power I have.

Yeah... I think they're dreaming that. So I'm personally concerned.

There's a non-zero number of them that would be willing to shoot you if Trump told them to.

You'll feel bad for your family? How? You'd be dead. And now your family is missing a member. That's your ideal outcome in this scenario? Buddy, just use a mail in ballot.
