3. I believe we will eventually have a civil war, though I hate even thinking about it.

Either that or we all accept that Trump is turning us into East Germany with his ICE version of the Stasi to control us all. ICE is acting with impunity now, and they will kill anyone who dares to challenge them.

If they start doing door-to-door searches, things will get crazy. Of course they’ll target black and Hispanic neighborhoods, but imagine heavily armed masked men tearing your door down and roughing up everyone inside, including US citizens. They’ve actually already done that in an apartment complex last year where they dragged children from their beds and threw them into the street. Why would anyone voluntarily open a door to masked thugs who may or may not be ICE since impersonators are committing crimes, especially attacks on women.

If Trump lives to see the end of his term, we will have a country of utter civil chaos with ICE and the US military patrolling all Democratic cities and a suspension of all civil rights unless Democrats can take back the House and Senate and impeach him. By that time even some Republicans may be fed up enough to convict him.
