The Trump administration is currently fighting in the Supreme Court to revoke birthright citizenship, while Stephen Miller is floating the idea of doing away with Habeus Corpus. Both of these atrocious actions are being touted as necessary measures that need to be taken to assist Trump in his war on all brown skinned immigrants. But frankly, what's not being said is a much, much worse possibility.
Once you take away the protections of the 14th amendment and Habeus Corpus, there is nothing to prevent you, me or any other person Trump feels like from being snatched out of our homes, thrown on a plane, and being sold into slavery in such places as Libya or El Salvador, where the remainder of our lives will be short, nasty and brutal.
Trump is clever enough to not set up serious Holocaust era concentration camps on US soil, bad optics. This way he can achieve the goal of getting rid of his critics without looking like Hitler era Germany.
This is what's at stake, what his goal for all of us is. Resist.
