Trump has threatened to deploy the military against the “enemy within” and has recently promoted the idea that “democratic socialism must be criminalized.”

    They’ve already gotten major concessions previously, so they’ll double down on funding any “defense” efforts. Combined with the recent comments from both Miller & Rubio, calling “the left” AND “those that support them” as “cancer” that needs to be rooted out, there’s a stage being set. When the time comes, these guys will shove “all-in” again, with some new, “Jan 6” level event, but with more pieces in place.

    If enough people are out of work, they could argue for further expansion / marriage of business & state in the military industrial complex. “Don’t have a job? We’ll give you one!” That’s ICE’s strategy today. Never mind all the “Christian” talk combined with state actions Jesus would never condone & actively spoke out against (Matt 25:31).

    The current election cycle is difficult. I suspect 2028 will be a more precarious time for America. I’m deeply worried for us.
