I think at this point it just about has to be the military. IMO, the complete inattention of this administration to a total humanitarian disaster on our (previous) southern border is indicative of socialist dictatorships; they feel no need to think of the people and they depend on their mockingbird media to cover for their cold ineptitude.
This devil-may-care attitude is also reflected in announced plans to spend untold trillions in pointless govt programs while imposing onerous tax burdens on the populace and their employers - plus flinging grinding regulatory sand into the financial engine of the economy.
They feel no need to care or show that they care; they wish to display raw power and nothing more. They rule by EO's and constant inundating lies offering no real explanations for anything. Adding two more states plus stacking the High Court and eliminating the Senate filibuster - whether they do that or not - is threatening talk to instill fear in the populace AND hopelessness!
We have seen all these tactics before: in emerging totalitarian regimes.
They are psychopaths and still afraid of Trump and MAGA people so they are going pedal to the metal. Plus, Bitem and Camela must know that they have limits, and all the sham charade stuff that we all know about. They’re like desperate rabid rats in a corner, pretending that they are all powerful, puffing themselves up with false vanity.
