    He doesn’t need to change any systematic structure to start enacting his plan. Trump has already identified and exploited the National Guard loophole, and has leveraged the DHS to dispatch the Secret Service, FPS, CBP, and ICE without declaring a National Emergency.

      Who joins these organizations? I would wager at least half are poor people, immigrants seeking school. Do you really think for a second they would follow orders that would endanger their own families? Propagandists need to stop fear mongering.

        " ICE is a private corporation."

        Am I missing a joke here?

            Yeah that’s cool and all but ICE is still a federal organization and not a private company.

              Their own website states the opposite. There are plenty of other sources which confirm that.

        DeSantia new guard is intentionally selected to be ready to act against liberal cities. He’s creating the blue print for modern gestapo.

          You completely ignored point. The law rules above everything. If a modern ‘gestapo’ tried taking people from their homes at the behest of a minority of the population, they’re gonna get served mob justice.

            If the law ruled above everything, Trump would be running his campaign from a prison cell.

                And yet you show an inordinate amount of faith in it to save us from fascism.

                  I know the enemies, the rednecks and the cops are cowards and only know courage in groups, even then they cower at the sound of gunshots. Uvalde and 1/6 among many others prove this unequivocally.

            No, it just takes more inaction than action for fascism to win.

              The judges may be corrupt but they can’t change the constitution. When the rule of law is gone, so is ALL of society. You people (the 94%) forget how wildly inaccurate polling is right now and how trump endorsed republicans lost all their races

                Who cares about trump or polls? We’re talking about the courtroom and justice. You know, where the “rule of law prevails” or whatever naive thing you said.
