“Attention to all blacks who plan to vote for Trump,” the sign outside New Era Baptist Church reads, “you are an ignorant stupid negro.” The other side says, “Warning African Americans: A vote for Trump will put Blacks back to picking cotton.”

    Intimidation doesn’t require a direct threat and you should know this. All it requires is a statement intended to make people fear for their safety.

        If you put that at a voting site or said people would die of high voltage because of voting for Kamala then yes that could constitute voter intimidation. You think I’m saying this only to help Trump? I’m saying it is a problem from both Republicans and Democrats. Why are you so offended about that?

            Obviously you’re too emotional to think logically about this. Would you like to share a hobby you do or something nonpolitical, so you can see not everyone is out to get you?

                I don’t have any Nazi friends. I think you’re just content with a small world view that everyone who disagrees with you is a Nazi. It is perfect for supporting Kamala though because it aligns with her views towards Palestinians. It helps you justify your own tendencies and is a projection of what you’d do given the opportunity.

      you’re implying the church somehow has the power to bring back slavery. if they don’t, then your whole argument makes no sense because CLEARLY the intent would be to inform.

      by your logic you could argue that fire alarms are likewise a tool for intimidation. sure, it’s meant to inform you of a danger for your own personal safety, but what if there is no danger and they’re just intimidating you into leaving?
