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?

    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.
