It's amazing and sad to watch Republicans so quickly forget what 'Republic' means as they trash State Sovereignty and lick the Federal Boot...MAGA means RINO.

I guess "Don't Tread on Me" and states rights are just for red states. It's shameful watching all the hypocrisy.

French here, what was the the 2nd Amendment already?

> A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

A yes, "necessary to the security of a free State", so, what about it?

Infowars has been warning for decades this would happen, clearly just projection, where are all the militias vowing they would oppose this?

The militias are cosplaying cowards, the actual people of Minnesota are ramping up and succeeding in resisting ICE. There is a nonzero chance there will be a standoff between the national guard and the army in Minneapolis.

Trump is trying to incite an insurrection so he politically gets a free hand to do whatever he wants. If Congress and the courts are too slow or too cowardly to get anything done, he might get what he wants.

So many people are like this. Their ideals only apply when they benefit people they like.

As a veteran, I have optimism these active duty military troops will recognize their duty. "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic". ICE is the best example of a domestic enemy I have seen.
