Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have condemned a raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as “deeply disturbing” and accused the Trump administration of a “rogue abuse of power” just weeks ahead of November’s midterm elections.
Let’s see if they do anything besides strong words and maybe some paddles.
On the one hand, Trump and co. are looking for excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act. It’s a delicate balance.
They’ve already doing the things that people are scared of.
Arbitrary detentions? Already happening
Shooting protesters in the street? Already happening.
Concentration camps? Already happening.
Tracking citizens movements and keeping records of political “enemies”? Already happening.
The only thing that isn’t happening is people rising up en masse against it.
