If this happens, white Christians will find themselves the most hated demographic in this country - deservedly so.
They're well on their way already, but as we all know, they can't fucking help themselves.

The old constitutional order is gone, and we should be straightforward about that. It’s obvious that, whatever else is on the reconstruction agenda, ICE abolition must be included.

If DOJ is no longer investigating the murder of Renee Good they should have no problem relinquishing the investigation and all of the evidence to the state of Minnesota. And if they refuse, why couldn't the state sue the FBI for obstruction of justice?

One of the agents, sporting a calm–even regretful–tone about the situation, told protestors on camera that he understands their point of view, saying, “I don’t even like doing this,” and that he “didn’t vote for Trump.”

It’s also worth noting that in Nazi Germany, closing down scientists and other intellectuals’ ability to travel for work was an early move to keep people from escaping.
Scientific conferences are where the exchange of important ideas happen. It’s where new collaborations come forth and innovation dreamed up. It’s really disheartening that NIH scientists and representatives are being banned from attending. www.reuters.com/business/hea...
Exclusive: US NIH scientists barred from attending conferences on their own time and dime
Researchers at the U.S. National Institutes of Health have been told they cannot attend scientific conferences and meetings without official permission, even if they pay their own way and go during time off, three current and former NIH scientists told Reuters.
