Dude nobody runs on these kinds of ideas. You run as a moderate and just do them when you get elected. That’s how a democracy works.
Ok let’s say you do that. You run as a moderate and then after decide to implement martial law, have the military patrol the cities, round up every illegal in the country and put them in detention centers for a quick deportation. Sounds like the most effective plan,
in theory.
The question is how to do it practically on the ground. First, the media is not on our side. We don’t have the ability to silence them like Putin or whoever else. That means there will be videos and pics dropped nonstop. It will turn into a global propaganda war about the brutality of the US government.
Second, certain local and state governments will simply not comply. What happens then? Do you use the military to take over their local
PDs and force them to go after illegals?
Third, members of your own party will defect and call for it stop. Even guys like Rand Paul, who are as conservative as they come, have publicly stated that using the military is a terrible idea.
Fourth, you will give the liberals so much ammunition and play right into their narrative.
Here’s a parallel…
From 1965 to 2010 or so did anyone really think the Dems would turn into a trans story hour radical DEI party? If you ask most people they didn’t. They seemed reasonable in the Clinton years.
But what were they doing in the meantime? Were they on TV stating they wanted to chop off kids genitalia and replace the white population? No, what they were doing was gaining institutional power so they could implement their agenda. They slowly boiled the frog and nobody noticed. Once the takeover of institutions was complete, then they came out with the real radical stuff.
Same concept. The real agenda is project 2025. Look at what they say about immigration. They want to deport the illegals, but they need to do it without having it backfire. They also need to remake the federal government and retake the institutions. They slowly boil frog, and make the changes they want.
