    Well just like with War on Drugs is not about winning. It's about making as much money off of it as you can. Note they didn't try to address the problems with immigration. They didn't change the Green Card system. They didn't expand the number of immigration judges. They didn't do anything except fund ice and fund more detention centers which are privately run at extremely huge markups.

      It was the SA back then, the brownshirts. But I think the inspiration is more the Rosgvardiya in Russia

        The military are actually trained though. There's no point trying to train these guys they are military rejects.

        The US military versus these guys would be more farcical than anything else.

        The point is that the military will sit it out since they can't be deployed domestically

            Send their office an invoice for whatever, they'll probably just pay it.

            Make sure to also provide the service. Otherwise you could get in trouble for fraud.

              not if the protesters are declared foreign agents/a civil war is declared.

              look at the Syrian, Sudanese and Egyptian revolutions

                If the US gets to that point I don't think those rules will apply anymore.

                    The war was not lost there, it was pretty quickly won. The reconstruction was lost.

                          The "war on drugs" was never about winning. It was about funneling public money into private pockets and about scaring the populace into compliance. Same with the immigration bullshit.

                            We retreated after taking massive losses and accomplishing none of our strategic objectives, unless you consider sending a generation of youth, poisoning the land for generations, and committing countless atrocities to be the real objectives, rather than the stated goal of preventing Vietnam, a country that is still communist to this day, from becoming communist?

                              "Terror". The US loves waging unwinnable wars against inanimate objects (drugs) and feelings (terror) lol totally irrational.

                                Prison slavery is technically illegal, but they are paid incredibly meager wages to where it's essentially legal slavery.

                                        I‘d say it was a very long fought war against the Taliban, who managed to survive and eventually won since they are in charge now.
