Ahhh the redirect that i was waiting for

But zero mention of how the ice budget is 4x the entire marines



How else does a unitary executive unilaterally and quickly scale a nationwide, lawless, massive paramilitary gestapo with assault rifles, unmarked vehicles, ill-fitting body armor, and "guided missile warheads and explosive components" that's loyal to a specific person rather than the office or the country?

In terms of complainants, there's likely a stochastic mix including but not limited to:

- Negative attention-seeking behavior people who project their life dissatisfaction onto others with hostility and Schadenfreude

- Poor, temporarily-embarrassed billionaire wantrepreneurs and middling upper-income people who have some misguided notation that their interests coincide with the regime's rather than realizing they vote against their own interests, are divided-and-conquered, and are carrying water for people who don't care about them

- Limousine Democrats who pearl-clutch and gatekeep anytime anyone raises awareness that's inconvenient to their gilded tower status quo or is "too heated" to allow anyone to discuss so they treat people like children in advance with fascistic muzzling and censorship

- People who benefit from techbroligarch extremism or are just crazy who hate [insert scapegoat(s)] and [insert other faction(s)]

- Bots/socket puppet operators who craft actions to shift sentiment towards the regime and/or particular political/ideological goals

Keep resisting and speaking truth to power, even when it's hard. Moral courage is exactly what is needed in this era because there are far too many cowards, crazies, and greedy people screwing up and screwing us.
