and it's not acceptable.

(54,771 posts)6. The electors say they are
and I see no reason to assume Democrats are someone exempt from such behavior.

(29,517 posts)7. Well of course they'd identify themselves as Dems whether they were or they weren't.

done by the deplorables on the Trump electoral voters ? Wouldn't put it past 'em at all.

Although it's odd, because when I googled "election slashed tires" these were the first two stories that came up.

A congresswomans son and three Democratic campaign workers were sentenced Wednesday to four to six months in jail for slashing tires outside a Bush-Cheney campaign office on Election Day 2004.
The men pleaded no contest in January to misdemeanor property damage. A fifth worker was found not guilty.
The cough syrup is a good idea!
