Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers.
Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.

A tweet from a sitting member of Congress calling for a violation of the Constitution would have sparked days of outrage in the pre-Trump era.

> “This is a distraction!” has been a clarion call of our age. Those shouting it from the rafters have rightly identified the source of Trump’s power, but their pleas have always felt impotent, as like a luddite throwing a fit outside of a Best Buy, because that’s not how anything works.

Just saw Kristi Noem, the new revised one, on a commercial paid for by taxpayers no doubt, praising the convicted felon for his work against undocumented workers. She offered this "if you leave now, maybe you can come back legally and live the American dream of all the plastic surgery you want."
