Totalitarianism on full display, Trump threatens to strip citizenship away from a US citizen who opposes him politically

8. let's not forget and ignore that Trump has already moved forward on myriad illegal actions

...gambling those actions against republican judges and justices who have, in some cases, acquiesced to acts that numerous previous administrations and Americans have had to operate under for decades and decades.

It makes little difference that an action is illegal, if this president decides to proceed anyway, as he has on numerous things which have been rejected by courts, especially lower ones.

And let's also not forget that this is meant to intimidate ALL Americans who have every reason to doubt this president will adhere to the law. Being prosecuted by the government is often a long and withering process where people's lives are destroyed, even if they ultimately prevail against the charges.

No one should be sanguine about the prospect of this president having his political opponents arrested and jailed as he tries to extradite them.

How many times does this man have to cross these legal lines for people to understand and appreciated the gravity of these threats, and the very real potential this out-of-control, unaccountable felon will act on them.

Moreover, there isn't an enforcement arm of the court that is going to be willing to confront the Executive, as DOJ is cosplaying Stasi police, and the republicans in charge of all branches of government's obsequiousness and complicit legislative moves, coupled with the Supreme Court's invention of unprecedented protections for this one president are effectively enabling Trump and his party with the power to serve everyone who agrees with and supports him, to the exclusion of anyone who does not.
