In the most extreme scenario, Trump uses the pretext of an immigrant “invasion” to use emergency powers to round up both immigrants and political opponents. He ignores court orders telling him to stop. When demonstrations against his program turn violent, he invokes the Insurrection Act and declares a permanent state of martial law in the blue states. The internet and the MSM are completely purged of dissenting views. America is now a Trumpist dictatorship.
Nothing about this scenario is absurd. We know Trump wanted to use the Insurrection Act during his first term, but he was talked out of it at the time. Who will dare do it this time?
Not any of the Republicans in Congress, that’s for sure.
