Mayhem is the point: Trump’s politics of terror

George Grundy writes that what appears to be chaos on America’s streets is not the collapse of authority but the deliberate use of terror to produce fear, obedience, and political survival.

‘Terrible things are happening out there. Poor helpless people are being dragged from their homes. Families are falling apart. Men, women and children are separated from each other. ‘Children come home from school to find their parents have disappeared.’ ~ Diary Anne FrankJanuary 13, 1943.

Anne Frank’s words were written at the summit HitlerBut almost every word comes from masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis (ICE) bandits attacked and kidnapped law-abiding citizens on the streets. Two Americans were shot dead in broad daylight.

For all its horror, this will probably only be the beginning. ICE rapidly expands workforce by offering registration bonuses up to US$50,000 (AU$71.5000) and reportedly Reduce training for new hires to just 47 days (to “honor”) Donald Trump47th President).

ICE currently has a larger budget than all other federal law enforcement agencies (including the FBI, DEA, ATF, and the U.S. Marshals Service) combined. A large paramilitary army is gathering in the United States.

Detention conditions are often appalling; There is no clean drinking water, soap or toilet paper. ICE is holding people secret siteslacks normal supervision and legal advice. At least one person was reported was killed — Strangled to death by guards at an ICE detention center.

ICE signs comprehensive signature contracts Collaborating with private prison operators to expand or reopen detention facilities. Soon concentration camps will be located all over America.

Everything seems reminiscent of the early days of German Nazism. Joseph Goebbels‘ paramilitary Sturmabteilung (better known as “brown shirts”) deliberately resorted to violence in the streets to incite riots and social instability; This could be used as an excuse for Hitler’s more brutal crackdowns. Perhaps we should look at current events in Minnesota through this lens. Maybe this isn’t a rogue agency that needs to be reined in. Maybe all plan.

The idea that this is conspiratorial thinking is denied by the Attorney General Pam Bondilatest letter To the Governor of Minnesota Tim WalzOnly turning over state voter rolls could prevent another, Bondi said ‘national tragedy’. The letter could easily be interpreted as an extortion – “turn over the voter rolls or ICE will keep killing your people” – but why would data on local voters be linked in any way to immigration enforcement?

In my view, that’s because everything in Trump World is about the midterm elections in November. Trump historically unpopular. HE underwater on almost every important issue. The economy is trending sideways at best. At times like these, the House of Congress almost always changes hands, and if Democrats take control in November, Trump’s presidency as we know it will be over.

Democrats will take over all House committees, cut budgets for Trump’s worst excesses, impeach the President for a third time, investigate his rogue organizations, crimes and corruption, and further expose Trump’s involvement with Trump at one level or another. jeffrey epsteinThe north star of Trump’s lifetime of abuse.

Therefore, Trump is likely to do anything to avoid free and fair elections in November. He repeatedly was threatened to call Insurrection ActHe’s leading the army onto American streets. This month alone, he “joked” twice that midterm elections should be held canceledAt one point he said: “There shouldn’t even be an election” (based on how successful he thinks his administration has been so far).

For a man who lies as easily as he breathes, Trump is also adept at saying the quiet part loud. He can’t afford to lose the house this November, so voter rolls must be taken by force for peace on the streets of Minneapolis.

This will be the first of many similar insults. It’s only the beginning of 2026 and there’s only one year left until Trump’s second term. If ICE continues to kill and maim American citizens in broad daylight, a heated summer of civil unrest could be used by the President to impose emergency measures. And that might just be the plan. It’s the chaos that matters.
