Wearing Red at the Polls? [aw!m vanity]

Posted on 11/05/2016 6:48:16 AM PDT by Arthur Wildfire! March

In some places, wearing red at the polls might get you attacked by leftist thugs. Just be warned. They look at it as 'gang colors'. [Mainly in urban areas.] And would it really achieve anything?

And is it a dangerous precedent? What if leftist thugs wear blue? Would they feel tempted to gang up on us in future elections? I was thinking about supporting the idea of wearing red to the polls to help make rigged vote counts more obvious, but it's not quite that simple.

Your thoughts?

“Photos of long lines of red wearers would be proof of Trump votes in a district that reported few or none.”

Especially in Trump friendly districts.

It might be dangerous AND pointless in occupied socialist hellholes.

But for the most part, wearing red is a HOT idea.

You live in West Virginia?

I haven’t heard anything about that state yet.

How are the yard signs looking?

While you're at it , get a hammer and sickle armband to complete the outfit.

Red is the international color of communism.

That the GOP allows the press to style them red is indicative of just how pathetic they are.

When Trump takes over the party, the GOP will no longer be RED.

Yeah, some of the polls had Georgia as a tossup over the past few weeks. That is total BS. Solid red. Not. even. close.

It occurred to me when the wear-red idea got to spreading around on I-Net that the Democrats could erase the significance and the usefulness of that by spreading the identical message to their own. I have not seen any indication that they have done that, though. They are missing a bet.

What if Trump supporters/voters simply all wear RED HATS?
Would be pretty obvious to me.

Only if the much more handsome Danny Trejo doesn’t show up and steal my thunder.

I have a red plaid shirt that I wear regularly. Coincidentally, I will be wearing it on Tuesday.

Even though the area I live in is heavily-Democrat (but I have not seen a single H => sign), people are civilized and neighborly and will probably not take notice of what I am wearing. If they do notice and it becomes an issue, I intend to redirect the discussion to whether a man has the right to wear a red (or any color) shirt, without being accosted.

I’m against this color scheme so no. I don’t think I have anything red anyhow.

I’ll probably be wearing my gray hoody, or my drab greenish patterned hoody.

My polling place is just at the end of the block. I go as soon as the polls open (6) except one time I waited till like 7:30.

Wear red before you go inside to vote then put it back on in the parking lot and have tailgate party for the day. No electioneering but it will show a massive presence and solidarity.

Winning with TRUMP should be a national holiday ever after, and if the election is stolen then it becomes a rally point for the next civil war!

I moved half way across the country to fix that situation. I’ll be wearing my red MAGA hat to my little bitty polling place. (It’s in the local DOT shack right next to the general store)

‘While you’re at it , get a hammer and sickle armband to complete the outfit.’

It all started with the Alphebet Channels painting repbulican states ‘red’ and democrats’ blue.

Subtle propaganda tactic that stuck unfortunately.

You can’t pick your own colors when you take sides.

I don’t know if I have a red shirt to wear either to be honest.

The more red the better I would imagine though.

At the very least I’ll wear a red hat, and maybe a new red tee shirt wouldn’t be too much. Need to wear clothes, don’t we?

The flag is the Red, White & Blue. Red is the primary color. 7 Red stripes vs. 6 White. Before the Betsy Ross flag there was the Sons of Liberty; The Red and White Stripes. And of course the 1st Navy Jack

Now the frogs will say that Blue, White & Red is the proper order of things.

I ain't no Frog.

I've ordered a T-shirt from Zazzle with this on it.

Intend to wear it to the polls.

Oh I just love feisty Freepers! I always make political comments in quiet lines at the post office etc. It is like a dam breaks and everyone feels free and relieved to talk. I have notice this year that lots of people are very knowledgeable about the issues. I will be wearing red on Tuesday. It will be a good visual.
