Even with 10,000 new ICE thugs, and if every single active duty military personnel was returned stateside from overseas, there wouldn’t be enough to control 300 million people across the vast 50 states.

They couldn’t even control L.A. Or D.C.

Stop perpetuating doom and gloom mythology about the future, when there are plenty of pernicious acts that need resisting right now.
