Gee I wonder what Americans tend to do to trespassers.

I agree, but realistically there's an entire private and public military behind this administration they could use against the people whenever they feel necessary.

The same people that argue what JD Vance does about the interpretation of the constitution not allowing for judicial decisions to supercede executive, also argue that it is up to an executive leader to uphold good/law and order as he sees fit. When it comes down to it, liberty is secondary to whatever the leader determines is necessary to maintain law and order.

Adrian Vermeule is a Harvard constitutional law professor who has been making the argument favoring executive authority and power over liberty for a very long time.

I agree with you, I just mean there's a lot of Americans with guns, that have and are usually prepared to shoot people on their property. Whether they get in trouble? Idk depends if they figure out how to organize in time.

I just hope sometimes

An angry group of civilians would not stand much of a chance against an entire military/police force.

In addition to the entire military/national guard, state police, you also have Palantir and blackwater now on the side of the government

You'd be surprised what a disbursed guerilla force can do. Additionally, that assumes the entire army is still behind him even after he's stripped so much from veterans.

It worked in Vietnam and Afghanistan.
