Let's not forgot and/or (3) going after Minnesota voter roles (per this letter from Pam Bondi):

    I see that as a subset of 1 (power & control thru fear), but yeah, clearly, and obviously not the 'stated' reasons

Agreed. If this were about enforcing immigration law, they would first focus on red states with huge immigrant populations, where they would have full cooperation from the local government and citizens who overwhelmingly voted for Trump. Those supporters who care about enforcing immigration laws would directly benefit.

This is obviously violence directed at Minnesota, who is led by a political opponent. It’s capital F Fascism and everyone on the right has grandfathers that are ashamed of them.

    They did; see my other reply.

    There's plenty of German heritage in the US. There was a decent number of grandparents who thought the US was on the wrong side of WW2.
