Not today, or next week, but its very much in the realm of what could happen when Democrats hold power again. Why? Because its become clear that ICE, Border Patrol, and much of the DHS see their goal as being to kill Democrats rather than serve the country.
Are you serious right now? The Democrats are fully onboard. They supported the creation of DHS. The supported the expansion of border patrol. The supported the expansion of ice. They supported the expansion of local police. They supported the transfer of military surplus to the police.
The Democrats are not going to save you. They’re not Marvel heroes. They’re not even basic protestors. They haven’t done shit on decades.
Unless the democrats become something radically different than they are, even if they GET power again I doubt they will abolish ICE and theres almost zero percent chance they would abolish the DHS. Idk what democratic party you’re seeing but this ain’t it.
I do not understand how american liberals can see shit like this and be like “we’ll get em in the mid terms” or “we will primary that guy out” and expect things to be better with that rhetoric.
It doesnt have to be fair; just not so unfair that Democrats can’t win a whole lot more seats. That’s very possible still.
Remember here: states run elections, not the federal government. So you get different gerrymandering and different voter suppression measures in each state
The Controlled Opposition will be allowed to have a small majority in one of the Congressional branches, so they can be made complicit with the current regime.
Might not happen during Trump, but I think it’s no longer an extreme position. People were probably wary of making serious moves to abolish the gestapo while they had unlimited licence to kidnap and kill people.
There is basically no chance they’ll be able to amend the constitution, which is what that requires
All it requires is them doing it and no one stopping them…
Trump’s not Biden, he just does shit and sees who stops him in time. Fuck man, he tried to hang his VP last time he was supposed to leave office.
I think there’ll be elections, be I also think shit will be a lot worse than Jan 6th this time. The guard/military will be there, but who knows for which side.

Schumer, Jeffries Refuse to Join Democrats’ Growing Calls to Slash ICE Spending
Now is the time.
Actually, a long time ago was the time, but later is not the goal.

2019 was the roadmap.
