Trump promised to raid Chicago on Tuesday yet I have seen a single news story about this since it was first brought up Sunday. It is now Wednesday. So did they do it or was it just more hot air from Trump and co?

You need to understand that none of the people in power actually want this stuff. It’s a waste of tax dollars and undocumented immigrants keep wages low for the robber barons. This is all performative. Think of it like a magic show, they want people looking at the card they are waiving around while the other hand picks our pockets.
I am well aware. But you can see how this turns into an excuse for Red Shirts, Committees of Public Safety and the like?
“We just can’t keep this under control! Sign up at your local MAGA office to help save the country!”
This shit is nearly as old as human civilization.
It’s totally possible. Like, historically the parallels are spooky.
I don’t have a good feel for the likelihood yet, too early. We may end up with camps, we may just have another four years of slide into shit before the next possible crisis.
I believe there will be at least one camp and at least some people rounded up. Sort of how some pieces of the wall were erected so they could take photos and claim they’ve done something. I also think, like the walls, there will be for-profit companies that will eagerly build infrastructure that (hopefully) never gets used.
On more thought… I would consider upgrading your description of the historical parallels from spooky to fucking terrifying.
