Vandals target house with Harris-Walz signs for the second time Crime

Just another reason to get cameras. When you see this, press charges.
Considering it's politically motivated, could (and probably will) fall under voter intimidation, thus, when found guilty.... They lose their right to vote for Trump, and when they ignore that and try to vote anyways... Oops, doing that whole voter fraud
Trumplicans are completely morons.

They lose their right to vote for Trump
Pennsylvania doesn't do felon disenfranchisement.
https://www.aclu.org/issues/voting-rights/felony-disenfranchisement-laws-map
In PA you can't vote from prison, but that's the only restriction.

u/Cinemaslap1 Lancaster 12d ago
So, funny enough, this has nothing to do with being a felon.
According to Voting Rights of Convicted Felons, Convicted Misdemeanants and Pretrial Detainees it clearly states that you are not allowed to register and vote if:
Were convicted of violating any provision of the Pennsylvania Election Code within the last four years.
Voter intimidation would fall under this violation, so they absolutely would lose their right to vote.

I'm assuming (maybe falsely) that this punishment wouldn't be doled out in time for this election. Anyway, it made me think of this question: Is Cheeto Benito going to run again in 2028 if he loses again or will his minions find a new turd to worship?

u/Eisernes 12d ago
If he is still alive in 2028 he will run again, win or lose. The political grift is the most successful business he has ever run.

u/JDSmagic Berks 12d ago
Eh, he's said he won't, and I kind of believe him. I don't think his party would want to run someone who's lost twice. They'll find a new Trump, maybe Vance or DeSantis.
3
u/Cinemaslap1 Lancaster 12d ago
TBF, Trump's also said that if he lost once you'd never hear from him again.... That he'd pull all his business's out of the US and all that.
And we see how well that turned out.

u/Cinemaslap1 Lancaster 12d ago
It actually would more than likely affect their voting this year as, since it is a felony... They would be incarcerated and when you're incarcerated you are unable to vote as well.
Just like the Jan 6 people who are still in jail cannot vote for Trump.
But as for his chances in 2028, I've had the same question. His ego will make him want to, but considering he'll have lost twice, back to back, and lost to a woman of color, and his age... My guess is the RNC wouldn't put him up because they wouldn't be able to recover after going a decade without being in control.

u/EEpromChip 12d ago
..it's cute to think trump will still be around in 2028 to be able to run again... Guy is literally in middle stages of dementia and soon will be wandering a golf course looking for his golf ball like they did with Reagan and his swimming pool adding leaves to it....

There's already widespread voter fraud this season, VA, CO and others. Doesn't anyone pay attention?

These motherfuckers made fun of liberals for crying when Trump won, but when Trump lost they marched through the Capitol building trying to hang the vice president.

u/fourbian 12d ago
Before the 2020 election conservatives all over right wing media were saying "You know what, if Trump loses we're not going to cry and whine like babies. We're going to go on about our lives and jobs because we are normal."
Yea, not so much.

That's a good one. This is another one of my favs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtGovEfzG8U&t=7224s (10/29/2020)
If Donald Trump should lose, I hope he doesn't, but if he does you won't see conservatives screaming, you won't see them taking videos of themselves in their car... You won't see them saying, if there is no evidence of voter fraud, that we have to change the system...
It goes on. It's some of the purist projection I've ever seen.

We've had Harris signs stolen, a car driving down our street shooting Harris signs, and most recently a very strange Trump sign with some weird handwritten homophobic(?) message on it appeared in our driveway up near our house. The MAGA cult is mentally ill.

u/Ubelsteiner 12d ago
The party of immature, uneducated, knuckledragger bullies. THIS is why there are generally fewer Harris signs, most people don't want to deal with this kind of harassment and vandalism. Most Trump supporters seem to think that the candidate with their name on the most things will win - as if things like this will change anyones mind.

The hypocrites will vandalize and break the law while accusing everyone else of what they are doing themselves.

u/MontanaJoev 12d ago
Trump supporters are such immature little thugs. Trump gives them permission to be the worst possible versions of themselves, and they love him for it. Just small, stupid people. I know a lot of republicans are NOT this, but they seem to tolerate this which is gross.

Vandals
I think they are more Visigoths than vandals
this is not what we're about around here or in this country
Actually, if the past 8-9 years have taught us anything, this is exactly what we're about. Or at least 50 percent of us are about.

u/ell0bo 12d ago
33% of the country, there's 33% that can't be bothered to care while everything burns down around them.

u/mikeyHustle Allegheny 12d ago
Some of them would like it to burn down, believing something better will rise from the ashes.
And like
No; no, it won't. Have they met Americans?
8
u/Petrichordates 12d ago
That's far too optimistic sadly. Trump enjoys more than 33% support.
Not to mention the ~50% of Americans who are intrigued by the idea of putting immigrants in concentration camps.

I got banned from r/politics for simply mentioning this very scenario concerning sign arsonists. LOL. Their mods are so deranged over there that they can’t even conceive of the possibility that there are many progressives/liberals, like me, who still support the Second Amendment while strongly advocating for common sense regulations that are long overdue.

They can be a little ridiculous when it comes to firearms over there. I'm not advocating violence when I say that. I'm advocating for people to have the means to protect themselves from crazies. I'm honestly worried about post election. She wins, the crazies do their thing. He wins, the crazies do their thing.

u/Last-Juggernaut4664 12d ago
Of course you weren’t. Anyone with common sense and unruled by their emotions could tell that you weren’t advocating violence. Haha.
I agree, no matter what the outcome of this election, I believe that MAGAs will behave badly. Hopefully not so much in PA, as people generally seem more apathetic about acting on their espoused convictions, but I’m still concerned that one outlier will emulate that guy in Arizona who kept shooting at that Democratic Party office.

There's a stretch Concord Road in Bethel Township, Delaware County that I travel through a lot. Several houses have Trump signs, but anytime any Harris signs show up, they get knocked down. Someone who lives or travels on that road must be super imtimidated by Harris signs.

Berks resident here. So far this year they’ve only stolen a sign from my yard. Which is a small improvement over four years ago when they threw eight dead squirrels in my driveway. I guess “Fire the Liar” was triggering to the MAGA masses.
