A bunch of civil unrest will follow, but it will be unorganized. Things will be a bit crazy for awhile, but eventually most of the demonstrators will be quashed, imprisoned, disappeared, or worse (and Trump regime will want everyone to know and believe the worst is happening). The Trump gestapo (ICE) will have gained training and more funding from the GOP traitors, so that even an organized uprising that may finally be formed will also be easily quashed.
This doesn’t have to be our future. But it’s scary how plausible it feels.
Only amendment I’d put in there is that if we do get a competent gestapo it won’t be ICE. ICE, the border patrol before them, and the Texas rangers before them all have a storied history of being impossible to appropriately train and outfit. Since their inception, they’ve been quantity-over-quality bucket of racists and failsons that have only ever been useful as a blunt instrument, despite work stretching back to the Harlon Carter days.
If we get a proper gestapo or KGB, it’ll either come from a different agency or they’ll have to completely gut and restructure ICE first. For now we can scare them off with crowds and airhorns.
