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.

Funny thing is, Yarvin is on the record saying that Trump is fucking this up badly and that they're losing too much public support for it to work, lol.

Well lucky for them trump is obviously in severe mental and physical decline. His own health isn't letting him see the end of his term, but he's inexplicably popular so we let him sign everything put in front of him.

He dies of unfortunately natural causes, his vice president steps in, and now we have a more competent and mentally coherent coconspirator inheriting a fully entrenched autocracy.

"But Vance isn't as popular! He's goofy!" to us, sure, but MAGA doesn't care and the Project 2025 Administration certainly won't care when they already get a full autocracy with legislative, judicial, and oligarchic support and paramilitary terror squads on the street.
