(1,585 posts)Maybe he arressts Harris supporters and plants evidence? What if a trump supporter rapes a Harris supporter? This fucker needs to be fired and investigated by the FBI! Who knows how he is abusing his power and authority. Very scary and outrageous!

(118,025 posts)So you see absolutely no problem with recording the names and addresses of people with perfectly LEGAL yard signs for some . . .whatever he says? Got it.

(37,611 posts)Like working to get the sheriff removed and will continue to work at that until the goal is accomplished.
People who care may have already looked to see if the sheriff was running for reelection this year, if he had an opponent and if so, be thinking of contributing to the opponent's campaign.
Those who don't will make a comment or two on social media and then move on to other subjects .

(3,869 posts)Remember when he ran to Faux News to declare that the story about the 11 year old girl impregnated when a family member raped her, and had to go to Indiana for an abortion, was untrue?
Notice how he's also silent as Haitian's are being harassed by Nazis in Springfield, even as our Republican Governor, Mike DeWine, denounces it?
He won't do anything about it. He probably agrees with it.

(19,663 posts)I'm not going to speculate on what your motivation is in explaining what this jackass is doing, that's on you, but here is what HE IS doing: He is engaging in stochastic terrorism, pure and simple. Yes anyone can drive around town and see who has what candidate's campaign sign on their lawn, but for this sheriff to publicly identify them in his official capacity for the reason he did is stochastic terrorism. His job is to keep the peace, not to stir up trouble, and that's what he's doing.

(823 posts)". . . excellent law enforcement requires those who lead to collaborate, to maintain transparency, and to build with the people they serve. Because every Portage County resident should have a voice at the table.
Im running because Portage County deserves a Sheriff who represents the people, not their own interests. I hope youll join me."

(7,633 posts)Year after year decade after decade on AM hate radio and now on propaganda ministries like Fox, Newsmax, etc. the drumbeat goes that Democrats are evil, anti-American. Day in day out being told that "this person who simply supports someone you don't" should actually die, be deported, jailed, or have their vote taken from them, because they are enemies of the nation. It's no wonder we've come to this. Information is powerful. And it's not going to change anytime soon and likely gets worse.
People blame Fox news (and rightly so) for all the hatred on the right. But it is Limbaugh, who really started it. Well, technically, the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine started it. But Limbaugh was the first to capture a big audience and set the stage for Fox News and other haters like Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson, ad nauseum. I know my sister in law and former best friend both started by listening to Limbaugh and eventually got sucked into the larger right wing rabbit hole. My sister in law used to be an intelligent thoughtful person and a strong liberal but is now a lost cause. She may even be a Q-anon believer (but I don't know that for sure). I refuse to visit my brother because I could not stand to be around her. Unfortunately, I have a hard time telling that to my brother so I just make other excuses. I do what I gotta do to live my life in peace.
I don't think my best friend is as far gone as all that but honestly, I've had very little contact with him since 2017. I'd rather hold onto the pleasant memories of our friendship than have to deal with the fact that he supports the indefensible in Trump. I know some are able to put aside differences like that, and we rarely touched on politics in our conversations, but my personal values are the complete opposite of everything Trump espouses so I cannot be true to myself if I pretend I'm OK with these people in my life supporting Trump who I truly consider to be pure fucking evil. It's not just a difference of opinion to me. It goes to core values as a person and someone who supports pure evil is not someone who I want to be around.
