This is simply not a good enough answer. Justice for another season. Walz, like most Democrats, is misreading the moment to such a grave extent there will be no future for this country. This is not an age for consigliere.
The American way of doing things is over. The advocates and defenders of process handed the reigns of power to someone who doesn't believe system and they will not be handing those reigns back. Why would they?
Walz might feel like they've got their hands tied. If they activate the national guard, Trump can effectively take them over too. Police, Sheriff departments, we see them in the live streams with the backs to ICE and batons ready to put even more violence against the residents and protesters.
The answer is for Walz to conscript every day Minnesotans into a civil defense force. If Trump is going to turn ICE into a paramilitary force to brutalize and oppress everyday citizens, it's time to take those who show up and turn them into a force to oppose ICE. Waiting too long to take a significant enough action which will actually make a difference is how we got here.
This isn't a both sides issue. It's time for a change.
The problem is complex:
ICE has all the intel to know where they want to show up. Hard to direct masses if you have no prior knowlege where, and one can bet on ICE escalating into shooting at protesters (they're not national guard nor army but trump's personal armed forces and can do what they want basically).
Everyone of them counts and is sure of his orders being above any law because trump says so. A good chunk of the police and judiciary system also is fully under trump's thumb so the only ones to be prosecuted will be the protesters.
But on top of it all, at least half the country, on both sides, thinks its best to let trump have his hissyfit of a regime and "all will be fixed when the midterms come" ... well the year of the midterms is here and things are only heating up more ... soon it will be "we'll hold out 'till 2028 or when trump dies and there will be peaceful elections to calm the country"...
The majority is so brainwashed about internal workings of the USA as told in school they can't see it has turned into a full on fascist country now, with a dictator on top, including the razzia's like the Nazi's used to do in WW2 ...it is all already here!
This IS what Anne Frank was hiding from on that attic!
And it will NOT go away peacefully. Not now, not at the midterms and not in 2028, not even upon trump's death.
Not just trump but every single person currently working for the trump regime will try to avoid the regime's collapse because it will not bring good things...
"I was only following orders" was not a valid excuse in 1946, nor will it be if the regime falls so those involved will forcefully keep it on course.
The time will come where membership lists of the democratic party will be confiscated and those on it will be targeted for punishment.
I like this idea! Show them the meaning of “a well regulated militia.”
LMAO. Sure, bud.
