The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Stop saying Trump wants to "nationalize elections." What he said was: "We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many—15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” "Take over the voting" and "nationalizing voting" is very different from the more sanitized language.

So, when a leader of a democracy incites an Insurrection and imposes martial law they are tried, convicted, and sentenced? Sounds like an actual democracy with a rule of law, not whatever sham we now have!

If you're preventing millions of legal voters from voting, then you are not interested in "election integrity". You're trying to illegally sustain power by suppressing legal voting.
