They will not be declaring martial law first and every chance they get. Which will be appreciably worse than a thousand federal dipshits with assault rifles and crowd control gear.

Martial law by military and federalized national guard, armed and with fire at will orders, which is part of the party's plan, prez is a figurehead at this point, having lost his marbles, is VERY much different from what we have this year. Le is militarized but not like the military.

They are setting precedents on immigration where they enjoy the most support, to be used when they are fixing elections and otherwise putting down unrest that would threaten their one party state ruling by force. They are setting up fed goon squads to target protests too.

It only gets worse absent real muscular leadership in opposition with organized citizens behind them. Which we do not have. Scotus will not stop military rule, the insurrection act, etc when they have a halfway plausible to the rw sheep cause.

They already cancelled nationwide injunctions making the executive branch unstoppable in violating people en masse with no real check on them left. Do not expect they will not allow it.
