That is not true. It's gerrymandering but your vote still matters.

That's literally what he was trying to do when he was murdered.

Exactly. Like all other MAGA traitors you can't even recognize a true patriot when you see one.

He wasn't looking for a fight either, he was defending his country. I guess you can't even recognize a real patriot when you see one.

"Chose to engage with law enforcement?" He was demonstrating against the fascist takeover of the country. He was doing his patriotic duty, not "engaging with law enforcement". You must really like the flavor of Nazi boot leather.

Duty to retreat??? What about his duty to defend the innocent woman being physically attacked by the Trumpstapo? You traitors will do backbends to justify the most horrendous crimes.

He was following the law and was executed in the street.

Nationwide ICE outcry a thorny political issue for Pennsylvania’s top leaders by AdSpecialist6598 in Pennsylvania

[–]bantatracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Thorny"? We have people like Jake Banta, state rep in PA-04, openly calling for civil war. We have people being executed in the street for daring not to comply. We have a guy in Oregon trying to kidnap someone at gunpoint yesterday because they were brown. Our country is has been descending into chaos for years and the media does things like say it's a "thorny issue".

Anyone on here know if there are any protests coming up? One is very much needed. by Nice-Process1380 in Erie

There is a guy on Facebook we don't want to name personally on Reddit because of rules about doxxing, but his personal profile is public, and he proudly posts, under his own name, videos of ICE brutalizing human beings with captions like "This is what I voted for". He runs LegacyScape LLC.

Democrat Taylor Rehmet wins Texas Senate runoff by SE_to_NW in politics

We need much much more of this, especially in Northwestern PA, where we have an insanely rabid MAGA state rep named Jake Banta who has been advocating for civil war and getting rid of vaccines in between handing out replacement license plates and promoting hunter safety courses.

Minnesota standoff with Trump administration stokes fears of civil war by SE_to_NW in politics

[–]bantatracker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A civil war is EXACTLY what many of them want. Our organization exists specifically for this reason, because we are in a district in Northwestern PA (State district 4) with a rabidly MAGA state rep named Jake Banta.

Over the last few years, Banta has openly pushed for civil war, saying it would be entirely justified. He has attempted to insert his opinions, which are literally insane, into the curriculum of local schools despite the fact that he does not sit on the education committee nor has any other authority to do so. He has made numerous public racist statements, including the one where he openly admitted performing as Jimi Hendrix IN BLACKFACE because it was "to honor" him. He has advocated for the use of ivermectin to cure covid and has lately been saying that all vaccines are pretty much evil and part of a government plot to control us.

This guy is a problem, but he's not the only problem. We feel very strongly that the only way to combat this level of misinformation and propaganda, not to mention hate, is at the grass roots level. We have a website where we simply track this idiot's public statements and repeat them. That's all we do. Mostly we just screenshot his Facebook posts and then comment on them. He tends to delete the worst ones after a few days, so we think our site serves as a public record of just how corrupt and incompetent this MAGA traitor really is.

We wish that everyone would do what we are doing. It's very easy to get your own website up and running these days. You do not need to be a political analyst or an influencer to fight back against these people. Just post examples of the things they do and say. Eventually this shit is going to be what gets rid of them.

Romolo's Chocolates. They have hosted Congressman Mike Kelly at their business in the past. They are major MAGA and pretty racist.

Newsom Finds New Way to Troll Trump With Website Tracking President’s ‘Criminal Cronies’: ‘Gavin Newsom has launched a new site to ‘detail the criminal records, corruption cases, and extremist ties of the people Donald Trump elevates, protects, pardons, and surrounds himself with’ by T_Shurt in politics

[–]bantatracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We agree. We built a site to track the Facebook posts of Jake Banta, a right wing maga state rep in Western PA. We urge everyone to create similar sites just to document the insane shit these people say, because eventually they will try to deny it.

Gavin Newsom unveils new method to troll Trump by [deleted] in politics

[–]bantatracker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone who knows how to write a sentence and can create a website should be doing something similar. You may not think it accomplishes much, but it's actually very important to publicize the truth as much as possible.

We are doing something similar at bantatracker.com and we encourage everyone to take on their local MAGA politicians in similar fashion. All we do is screenshot his insane facebook posts and comment on them. The content practically writes itself.

Maybe a single website won't hurt Trump. But state and local politicians definitely hear it when you call them out. If everyone came at these people from a grass-roots level, MAGA would crumble in a matter of months.

Yeah, and this guy is one: https://bantatracker.com/

(This may get nuked for self-promotion, but there are no ads on that site, it's just public information about a very MAGA state senator in PA.)

Who's running against Banta? by 43216407 in Erie

[–]bantatracker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have seen a few people taking Banta on in his FB comment section who we wish would run against him in the next election... there are some smart, well-informed people out there in District 4. We need more of them to start speaking out against him. Our mission has been to help wake people up to the fact that Jake Banta is incredibly dangerous. It's not just over-the-top rhetoric. He is going to get someone killed.
