The Founding Fathers literally wrote about this exact kind of shit in the Declaration of Independence. Among the grievances they listed against King George:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
One of the grievances was that for certain offenses, American colonists weren’t tried in courts located in the colonies, where they had support systems and would face a jury of their peers. Instead people, many of whom had never even been to England, would be shoved on a boat, sailed months across the sea, and then face trial in London.
Seriously, go through the Declaration of Independence and its list of grievances against King George. Trump has flagrantly violated the majority of them.
Maybe when enough spouses have been deported to Africa, and enough farmers have committed suicide, these bigoted jackanapes might finally start to glimpse what is happening.
Nope, I don’t think they will. It’s quite truly too late for them - some might, but enough people have truly made Trump and Trump’s GOP part of who they are that they will never ever change their minds.
Just as our forefathers intended. This was their vision for the country, apparently.

Last time NPR posted the Declaration of Independence it made Republicans angry
Grievance 10: “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.”
That is ICE.

I fear you are right
