Bannon advised Trump, not only to deploy ICE, but also to send in the Airborne Division!
Yesterday, Trump proposed to "nationalize" the election, with the federal government taking over some local election affairs. Bannon publicly responded, even suggesting sending relevant forces to polling stations. This action conflicts with the spirit of the U.S. Constitution, and the relevant laws do not support strong federal intervention in elections. Polls show that more than 60% of the public believe the related law enforcement actions are too radical, and the proportion supporting adjustments has reached a new high. The Republican Party is divided, and the Department of Justice is simultaneously requesting voter data from multiple states. The U.S. election controversy continues to escalate, further intensifying social and party divisions.
The clamor for "nationalizing" the U.S. election is essentially a rule-breaking under political polarization. The Constitution clearly states that the responsibility for managing elections belongs to local authorities. Using relevant forces to intervene in voting is touching the bottom line of governance. Polling data shows that public dissatisfaction with the related law enforcement actions has reached a high level, and the social fragmentation is visible. Historically, the U.S. has repeatedly faced trust crises due to election disputes. Now, attempting to break the institutional framework for electoral advantages will only erode public trust. Party interests override governance consensus, and rules yield to power struggles, which not only increase internal friction but also significantly reduce governance efficiency. Respecting rules and maintaining the bottom line is the right way to resolve the crisis; otherwise, it will only lead further into division!
