    The congresspersons should either show up with the state guard and force the issue, or begin to notice that NAZIs don’t care about the courts.

      Can’t do it. The state guard is an executive branch function only the governor can call on.

      OTOH, one would think they could round up armed men of some kind?

      Yes this is bullshit they don’t have fucking sue. Use goddamn power granted to you and do what you’re allowed to do. Exactly what I do if I was an elected politician. Fucking Democrats are useless under fascism.

        Jamestown

        What does that have to do with concentration camps in the USA in the 21st century filled with peoples by masked US law enforcement rolling in vehicles with no plates ?

          Because what kicked off the leader making everyone kill themselves was a congressmen going there with the national guard requesting access…

          Exactly what the other commenter suggested they do to the camp in Florida…

          Not the op but I’d assume the cruelty without repercussions leading to an actual response by the oppressed that will be deemed an “uprising” resulting in a “justification” to call in the army or something on whoever they want to blame.

          Probably with a massacre or two, like, a traditional bloody one.

          Not the slow behind the scenes killing off of people through deprivation of services, rights, due process with some old school SS thrown in, just in case; that ones building up just fine on it’s own.
