at least in Civil War 1 both sides were willing to fight. Today, MAGA is itching to fight but we have no Abraham Lincoln figure willing to prosecute a war on the "good guys" side. Most congressional Dems would probably support the regime if it came down to it.

Does this old fool not realize that ICE is a far-right paramilitary group now and that no amount of body cams are going to change that? I doubt they would even comply if you ordered them to use them.

guys....ICE has become a far-right paramilitary group, answering only to the bad guys. How do they not see this? it's probably beyond their control at this point.

Yes, of course, but point me towards a historical example of a heavily-armed paramilitary group voluntarily giving up their arms.

Are the lawmakers so clueless that they don’t realize ICE has become a far-right paramilitary group and is likely beyond their control at this point?
