    This just cements my opinion that all these people are short sighted idiots. They think they’re foxes fucking up the henhouse, but they’re just other chickens pecking the fuck out of their neighbors while the henhouse burns around them. Fucking. Stupid.

      Not to mention, most of those conservative areas depend on sanctuary cities. There’s only a handful of red states that don’t depend on federal dollars and in each state, it’s the cities themselves that mostly produce and drive the economy; as well as create jobs.

      It would be economic suicide.

    FFS. I love to roll through all the MAGA heartlands with tanks and put them all to the sword.

    Give all the land to immigrants.

    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.

        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.

              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.

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

                  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.

        " ICE is a private corporation."

            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.

        nah, Columbia requires to much science and intelligence to design it, launch it, and keep it in the air.

        MAGA would kill all the smart people, and crash teh city into the ground, killing everyone in a glorious moment of captialistic freedom.
