As is a massive reduction in defense spending. Just as the 2nd Amendment is about outdated militias, but its true meaning is supposedly about the absolute inviolable right to have any damn weapon you please, so the 3rd amendment is about outdated quartering of troops, but its true meaning is that people cannot be forced by a government to expend extraordinary resources on police and military occupations.

Third Amendment Forever!

I believe ICE will be deployed at certain voting sites to intimidate voters, just as the Know-Nothings did prior to the Civil War.

Assuming you have a gun or guns.

You talk about the military being the enemy so it’s got to be pretty intensive

To make it clear that you aren’t mistaken for a passive liberal as you describe, you’ll have to be open carrying to show otherwise.
