Miller moved too fast. Possible he thought the whole move fast and break things tech approach would work. Maybe it was more of realization that midterms results did not look promising. And I can't discount that it is just arrogance that led him to believe he could do it in just a year.
@Hey_Beth @Soulshine
I strongly suspect that Miller (and many others adjacent) truly believed that the vast majority of white people secretly hate immigrants and brown people and want them all gone but are just too afraid to do anything — and they thus assumed that ICE’s violence have widespread support. The massive degree to which white people in Minneapolis-St. Paul do •not• feel this way caught them completely off guard. They’ve spent an embarrassingly long time clinging to the idea that it’s just a few people opposing them. I hope that seeing 50,000 people marching at -10°F registered as a punch in their shriveled, horrible gut. -

Miller and others absolutely failed to understand the unpopularity of their racists beliefs.

It is •definitely• not too late. One year in, we are still in the “consolidating power” of the authoritarian takeover — “still in” meaning it has •not• succeeded yet, implying it can still fail. And honestly, it’s looking •less• successful now than it did 6 months ago.@inthehands @Soulshine It's definitely approaching the Senator Joe McCarthy Army Hearings with Roy Cohn in the side-car.
Have you no sense of decency sir

At long last, have you left no sense of decency

It's only too late when enough of us decide it's too late.

Just to reiterate:
Trump admin are trying to give Senators an excuse, any excuse, not to block funding to DHS.
We need to make sure that doesn’t work. Don’t let up. Keep them all afraid.
Noem, who’s in danger of being sacked, is trying to throw Stephen Miller under the bus. Meanwhile Miller is on TV trying to throw DHS under the bus. Basically they’re shitting their pants and flinging it at each other.
It’s working. Punch them harder.

@inthehands This should be like a carnival WWF cage match of everyone throwing one another under buses until we run out of people or buses. One or the other.

@inthehands Pin it all on PeeWee Goebbels. Just like Kruschev/Bulganin dumping all over Lavrentiy Beria. He was Stalin's angel of death, then ol' Joe Steel, DIED. And it all came crashing down, and Kruschev and everyone got their long knives out

@inthehands Stephen Miller said the Minnesota operation didn't follow the guidelines established by the White House in the aftermath of the Jan. 7 shooting of another Minneapolis demonstrator, Renee Good.`Specifically, Miller said, Bovino's crew was supposed to divide its force into two groups: One unit was supposed to handle the arrests of specifically targeted "criminal aliens" and the other squad was in charge of crowd control to keep "disruptors" from interfering.`

@inthehands For all intents and purposes, Stephen Miller is the de facto POTUS at this moment in time, not #47.

@carpetbomberz @inthehands How dare no one on the ground take Stephen Miller's bullshit seriously?
I'm so old I remember when ignorant MFers in the White House micromanaging Vietnam was scandalous.

@inthehands in a normal world they'd both have been "under the bus" months ago.
As a European observer, the whole situation with the fascist leadership in the US is very scary

@inthehands Ah, yes, the Führerprinzip defense. Didn't work at Nuremberg, didn't work for Eichmann. They really are speed running the Third Reich.
