Radix covers the arrest and indictment of Douglass Mackey aka "Rickey Vaughn" over a meme that Kristina Wong also made and shared, telling Trump supports to vote via text. It was clearly satire, even more disturbing is the lack of evidence presented that this actually impacted anyone or made anyone not vote. We look at the targeting of Gab in the indictment, possibly as a pretext to go after them and the 18 USC language they are charging him with was "intimidating voters" and historically has been interpreted and used to go after people physically intimidating people at the polls and scaring them from voting, holding the hostage, or something like that.
