"As Donald Trump grows more comfortable exerting power, all his worst traits are getting even worse. Trump's disregard for human suffering and even life is on full display in the occupation of Minneapolis by ICE. He freely admits his disdain for free elections by sending the FBI to Atlanta to seize ballots from the 2020 election and threatening to "nationalize" elections."
"What Democratic leaders don't seem to understand is that ICE is essentially a paramilitary force at Trump's disposal. Under the guise of immigration crackdowns, ICE can be used to terrorize cities without any fear of accountability, as the administration's refusal to investigate Renee Good's murder shows. It's not outlandish to see ICE agents surrounding polls in November; indeed, former Trump aide Steve Bannon has predicted just that."
Donald Trump is increasingly exerting authoritarian power and amplifying dangerous behaviors. His disregard for human suffering and life is evident in ICE's occupation of Minneapolis. He has signaled contempt for free elections by sending the FBI to Atlanta to seize 2020 ballots and by threatening to 'nationalize' elections. Racism has become more overt, exemplified by social media posts comparing Barack and Michelle Obama to apes. Democratic leadership has responded weakly, proposing reforms and mask requirements for ICE rather than confronting paramilitary uses. ICE functions as a paramilitary force capable of terrorizing cities and potentially intimidating voters at polls.
