Trump made it clear yesterday that he has every intention of using the military to build deportation camps and conduct raids. It is highly likely that a federal district court–probably one in the Ninth Circuit–will enjoin him from doing this. Then what?
I expect Trump to ignore the court order and move forward. At that point, having blown through the rule of law for what he considers a higher purpose, there will be no obstacles to despotism except his imagination and the willingness of the American people to risk their lives for the cause of liberal democracy.
If that doesn’t chill you to the bone, you haven’t read enough Hitler books.
