This is the reason Project 2025, Koch, Heritage, the Federalist Society, et al (really all the same entity), need to turn up the heat on ordinary American citizens, make them hungrier, more insecure and out of work. Publicly, brazenly terrorizing innocent “illegals”, and roughing up opposition elected officials (without consequence) is a great way to increase general fear and outrage. Have masked ICE agents spray a landscaper with mace, tackle and repeatedly punch him once he’s in handcuffs, let his US Marine sons make their pleas on social media — the thirty year resident of the US, a taxpayer, is going to Sudan, Louisiana, Texas or maybe Alligator Auschwitz.

Once you have created and normalized this kind of mass outrage and stirred public panic, rounding up peaceful immigrants and rendering them to war zones in Africa and elsewhere, or Central American torture prisons (CECOT) or outdoor concentration camps (GEO Group and other private prison and detention corporations just got billions in the One Big Nazi Bill to build a network of concentration camps), you’ve lit the fuse for resistance. It is very easy to turn that resistance violent for purposes of Mike “Q Anon” Flynn becoming head of weaponizing martial law.

A gigantic masked secret police force with massive funding, and under the exclusive control of the (OK, admittedly insane) Unitary Executive — the perfect stick with which to stir the shit pot the far-right has been filling for years, lately with high powered firehouses of fecal mendacity.
