If the reports are to be believed then Washington, D.C. is going to have a rough week at the end of August, with an extremely high risk of a violent leftist insurrection in the nation’s capital. “People For the American Way” the “progressive” socialist activist group who have worked to slander and defame every conservative nominee for Supreme Court dating back to Judge Bork under President Reagan and publishers of “RightWing Watch” are putting on the “No More Excuses: Voting Rights Now! Rally and Protest” on August 24th. But that’s only half of it, four days later the “March On for Voting Rights,” will be held by several groups including the SEIU (Service Employees International Union), the National Action Network, and the Drum Major Institute according to CNN. It’s all a desperate effort to impose a federal election system onto the states in order to ensure mail-in voting and Democrat-Socialist party rule become permanent.
For a whole week, there will be scores upon scores of left-wing activists flooding the Capital. Should these surely “mostly-peaceful” protests hold true to form with the George Floyd demonstrations which devolved into riots in 2020 and the Antifa riots that always started out that way, to begin with then January 6th is going to look like a pleasant walk through the museum… behind the velvet ropes…(Video timestamp: 17:20)

The recent surge in anti-voter laws emerging from state legislatures around the country constitutes an attack on American democracy and the freedom to vote. Passing new federal voting rights legislation is the most important priority right now. President Biden must do everything in his power to get it done.”
“Do what it takes”? It sounds almost like they’re saying they’ll “fight like hell” or undergo “trial by combat” to get what they want. And to “compel” action is to force someone’s compliance, isn’t it? If you need that spelled out for you like a Congressman might, here we go:
Idiom what it takes
- (idiomatic, sometimes euphemistic for improper behavior) Anything, including measures which may be extreme or wrongful, that is required to achieve an objective.
Verb Compel
- To drive or urge forcefully or irresistibly Hunger compelled him to eat. The general was compelled to surrender.
The League of Women Voters claims that their rally will look something like this:
However, if the precedents of the last five years hold true, it is much more likely to look like this:
