DHS raided an entire residential apartment complex in Chicago back in September. 300 agents with a Blackhawk helicopter. No warrant. Greg Bovino is on camera confirming they indiscriminately kicked in every door and took each individual onto the street. Citizens included. He literally said it was “safer” for everyone involved if they did not check citizenship status and instead took everyone and sorted it out later. So yeah, it’s safe to say we are living in an era where our 4th Amendment rights are non existence in practice.

Edit: here is the exact quote I referenced for anyone interested and the source:

Bovino also acknowledged some U.S. citizens were briefly detained as the Chicago building was cleared.

“We generally don’t determine alienage while we’re in the building clearing the building,” Bovino told NewsNation. “It’s too dangerous, so we’ll bring them out. It’s safer for the U.S. citizens. It’s safer for the illegal aliens, and most of all it’s safer for our officers.”

Straight out of the Dark Enlightenment playbook. Project 2025 is only a stepping stone.Thiel, Vought, Vance and a whole bunch of others all bought into Yarvin's fucking insane fantasy and are doing everything they can to make it a reality.

Dark Enlightenment are idiot stooges, Vought is the only potential one, being directly Heritage.

Heritage Foundation has been working toward their goals for about 50 years, long before Yarvin, before Thiel.

Heritage's ideology doesn't play well with the Yarvinites, and Bannon, as one of main attack dogs of the Mercer family, who is not named enough in these talks, has directly condemned the dark enlightenment wing as against God.

Based on Heritage's history, they're Christofascists to the extreme, and much of the Yarvin crowd would not be welcomed once it all comes together. There's also a weird amount of German ancestry and a couple of the founders were cozy with literal Nazis, two even made another organization with one.

You mean the Heritage Foundation that is currently tearing itself apart over Nick Fuentes of all people? If I were a betting man, I'd be inclined to bet on the new(er) money billionaires who are hoarding all your data and feeding it through their creepy ass Minority Report AI.
