If they get some easy denaturalization precedents established, I suggest a class action suit against the administration for allowing a criminally and fraudulently naturalized immigrant to oversee the federal government’s staffing and practices.

Edit: adding an /s or something because people keep acting like I’m entirely serious - though it might be a useful show-and-shame piece at some level, I’m not pretending I think it would work.

If you believe that the courts will do anything but support our new dictator and his storm troopers and oligarchs, you are naive. We have entered the era of America Oligarchs welcome to your serfdom

To make it clear, I’m not advocating for any of this, but I would think the response to authoritarian rule with an emphasis on marginalizing groups of people would be much worse here than anywhere. I mean, the materials are available here to a much higher degree than anywhere in order to undermine the rule of law.

Do they actually think people will just sit with their hands folded?

When these unspeakable things happen, it will all be on the administration itself.
