Why ICE is much more dangerous than the mob at the Capitol on January 6th?

First of all, they all have arms. Perhaps some of them were bought with the $50K bonus given to them by Donald Trump, and indirectly, by the funding of the Democrats and Republicans in Congress. It was they that increased the military budget to $One Trillion dollars. They were blind. They had no foresight at all. And they have put all of us in direct harm.

Secondly, they are all loyal to Donald Trump. They will do what he asks and they have the means to do it. We are watching the beginning of the second coup. The number of Americans protesting will dwindle as the amount of violence increases.

The question is: What can be done?

1. Did they all pass psychological evaluations?

You know, like ordinary LE officers?

Haven't seen any push back from Congressional GOP.

2. One and the same

The ICE goons are likely pardoned J6ers.

3. I think that has been documented by Jamie Raskin?

...and others?

4. Probably

I'm just working under the assumption that they are.

5. They are the same people nt

6. And they will not disappear just because of an election.

They will "stand back and stand by". Bet on it.

7. They're called Republicans

They are the Gingrich heirs, the Tea Party, whatever... same people. They rebrand every 2 years but they are the exact same small minded, angry, grievance-fueled, weak men they always have been.

I suspect, however, that upon the death of Trump they'll scatter and be unable to form a political coalition. JD Vance doesn't have the magic and Lil' Marco is Lil'.

The heirs to the Trump dynasty were probably Tucker Carlson or Charlie Kirk but I don't think they have much life left in them.
