I hope you’re right, but they will likely try. And the Rule of law has been eroded more and more. They already openly defied a court order to send Venezuelan people to the El Salvador work camp. They gloated about it, too.

And that was all without due process. Some even had hearings scheduled and still got deported into slavery.

Now that he successfully tested the waters with this, I’m not so sure about trusting the rule of law in the US.

I mean he can run for primary. A lot of people should. The DNC just needs to take their finger off the scale and let the actual people decide what candidate they want.

There is also a huge amount of waste going on AFAIK.

People in charge are knowingly spending money on stuff they don’t need, just to spend their budget. Because if they spend less, the get less budget next round. They are essentially incentiviced to waste money.
