If #Trump & #StephenMiller attempt a full blown authoritarian takeover, how do you think the average U.S. citizen will respond???

WTF the authoritarian takeover is pretty much complete. ICE has been told they have "absolute immunity" and they are going door to door looking for victims.

@LeftistLawyer
Also it is a daily occurrence for federal gestapo to willfully violate the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments and official training materials tell them that they can.

@LeftistLawyer
The POTUS literally tweeted out that the 2nd Amendment is null today.

Authoritarianism can only double down. The expected next step for Minneapolis is to bring in military forces and war National Guard. We already know they are marshaling military to do that. Once they’ve imposed effective martial law, federal agents will move in door to door, scanning people’s faces, taking people as they see fit who will disappear into the detention centers they’ve been building out.

Gaza is a blueprint.

But also, I’m been saying video now where whatever federal agency is taking one of their military trucks through town people step in front of it putting their hands on the front hood, shouting at them to get the heck out. Anyone remember Tiananmen Square??

People are so angry they don’t give a fuck anymore. They are putting their bodies in front and in the face of federal agents.

Autocracy can only double down.

@LeftistLawyer It is time for DEM leaders to step up and meet strength with strength. They can state that "any person taking down an ICE agent posing a threat will be pardoned, just like Trump did with Jan6thers". Then I can tell you ICE agents will think twice.

@LeftistLawyer The average may be thoughts and prayers, but the civil disobedience will be widespread regardless

@LeftistLawyer "If"....? It's happening right now & you're seeing exactly how Americans are responding.
