    Deporting legal immigrants with proper documentation has happened already.

    Deporting valid visa holders after cancelling a visa for no clear reason has happened.

    Tarrifs have been instated, removed, reinstated, and modified based on whims of the president.

    Judges made legal decisions, which is their job, and we’re subsequently harassed by ICE.

    DOGE has done irreparable harm to the well established, decades old infrastructure that the country runs on. Because of their decisions, top-level scientists are fleeing the country, programs to help people around the world and project US power have been dissolved with no warning, and institutions across the country have been thrown into disarray. There is no indication that the individuals involved know what they are breaking or have any plan to repair it.

    If you are, in fact, living under a rock, then looking into all of these things might be a good start. You might then want to look into the history of Nazi Germany in the mid 1930’s to see how they destroyed democracy back then, and see how things happening now mirror what was happening then.

      And the judge who’s facing federal charges for obstruction of a federal officer.
