Called this after the strikes (read: summary executions) on Venezuelan boats in international waters started.
The way things are going, I wouldn't be too surprised if the Trump administration did a missile strike on US soil before the 2028 election.

Challenge: How do we convince left-libertarians who fear ID cards are the tool of a police state?
Solution: We'll make it about cracking down on immigrant communities, like the ones in their constituencies, and give it a nationalistic brand name.
