Martial law means we don't get up the next day and go to work or school; the stock market crashes to nothing by the end of the day; nobody has to follow any local laws anymore; stores are closed; people are shooting each other over a can of dog food.

Martial law does not mean "everything stays the same except Trump gets to use the military to remove illegals". That's what some are trying to pretend it means. It doesn't. The fact that there isn't one iota of a reason for this(are Republicans congressmen calling for martial law? No!) and not any possible justification, it will not happen and he would be immediately removed if he attempted it. Again, what in hell would be the justification for shutting down the country? Billionaires lose everything.
