Misplaced hope #2: Trump's declining popularity means voters will punish him and the GOP in 2026 and 2028? That assumes they'll allow free elections. To doubt this is no longer absurdly alarmist or just a matter for grim jokes: tinyurl.com/bdz6u6sc
But by then, Trump and his crew will have new tools at their disposal, including a beefed up ICE that will include large phalanxes of masked thugs who are experienced in using violence at the president's behest. Thus, if the time comes for Trumpers to effectuate yet another post-election coup, they will have a ready and willing militarized federal police force to back them up and will not have to rely on a ragtag array of right-wing tourists. While many are currently rightly concerned about the impact Trump's brutal “immigration crackdown will have on undocumented persons, the danger of his creation of a massive, non-law-abiding federal police force could extend far beyond the immigration. Congress has just handed the coup leader in the White House new, dangerous tools that he and his cohorts could use in their next attempt to overturn the nation's democracy once and for all.
