This is awful. Similar to the deportation of Jews in the 1940's in the Third Reich.

Ah, the freedom-loving government flexing its muscle by turning neighborhoods into checkpoints. Door-to-door sweeps? That’s not law enforcement; that’s a dystopian scavenger hunt.
Let’s not pretend this is about “safety.” It’s about fear—fear as policy, fear as spectacle. When agents knock on every door “just in case,” they’re not enforcing laws; they’re shredding trust. Schools full of anxious kids? Families sleeping with one eye open? That’s the real legacy here.
And Tom Homan’s “on the table” rhetoric? Sounds more like a threat than governance. If this is the new normal, then democracy’s just a word we slap on the side of the bus while it careens off a cliff.
By instilling fear, fascist regimes aim to create a compliant population that willingly surrenders individual freedoms and critical thinking in exchange for a false sense of security and belonging.....https://prizedwriting.ucdavis.edu/fascism-and-denigration-individual

I feel like they are pushing everyone to the breaking point. How long until they knock on the wrong door and get shot?
Homan didn't just threaten individuals and communities, he threatened city and state officials who would dare get in his way. Almost like he knows what he's doing will draw a lot of ire.
He's taking small town good ol' boy sheriff attitude to the federal level, that's why conservatives love him.
The good ol' boy sheriff attitude isn’t just a personality quirk—it’s a power fetish wrapped in folksy branding. Conservatives don’t love him for his “toughness”; they love him because he’s a blunt instrument for their authoritarian fantasies.
Threatening officials isn’t law enforcement; it’s political theater designed to intimidate and dominate. The ire he’s drawing? That’s the sound of people waking up to the fact that this isn’t governance—it’s performative cruelty masquerading as leadership.
I'm....speechless and all out of snark on this one. This is fucking horrifying.
Single-issue voters who threw their vote away or sat out and did not help stop this, well, hope you're happy with your choices.
I hope you get used to this feeling. Cuz it's going to keep happening. It's so fucking clear that the Democrats are not learning a single thing from this utter defeat they suffered. And the many defeats they've suffered the last decade and a half.
Democrats voted. It's independent leftists that didn't vote. And encouraged others to not vote or vote third party. Hope you're happy with yourselves. This is what we get because you ragged on Democrats the entire election season. Gtfoh.

Or better, hope your losing sleep and sick to your stomachs and ready to take action in every available protest, election, boycott, donation, etc.

Tell them to suck your dick and get a warrant, that is what I would do. Unconstitutional douchebags need to learn the constitution one insult at time.
that is what I would do
No you wouldn't.
Yeah. I just wouldn't respond to them.
Also make sure to check their warrants when they have them, they often only get an administrative warrant which doesn't mean dick
If they have a warrant they can break my door down to enforce it.
And then they shoot you in the head and it's fine because this is Trump's America.
Stop resisting! Oh my god, officer down, officer down! Get backup!
Acorns are everywhere! I repeat acorns everywhere!

Doesn't hurt to know your legal rights, but we're also in "put people in a concentration camp" territory now, so they will likely be ignored.
The thing is you have to force them to do it illegally, brutally, while people can see it. If you give in, if you agree to things, it's too easy for them.
Yes, many people who stand up to them will die. It's already been allowed to get to that point. Yet if you sit back and give in, it happens so much more quickly, and much more brutally.
This is especially true if you're white, or at least not openly a minority. If you're a middle aged white male, make them go through you. It's dangerous, you might not make it, so make sure you're ready. White men standing up to them, constantly, is cognitive dissonance to them. They'll expect you to always be on your side, and when everyone isn't, they stumble.
If people constantly resist them at every angle they will fail. We will lose good people doing it, and we have to.

Yet another disgraceful and dark stain in American history books with the fascist pig Homan working hard to ruin peoples’ lives for no reason other than petty cruelty.
