    Easiest way here is make losing citizenship a criminal charge, with the whole ‘appointed lawyer’ and ‘burden of proof’ that designation includes. That’s one thing a Dem “Project 2029” should include.

      Stop acting like laws can fix fascism. Half of everything Trump, the GOP, and every lobbyists, have ever done is criminal and breaking dozens of existing laws. Laws only matter if they’re enforced, otherwise they are chains utilized by fascists to delay an appropriate counter-response.

      The only thing that will fix fascism are general strikes large enough to damage the economy and make the capitalist/political class shit they’re pants, or violence. None of these psychopaths are going down without a fight.

        And when this all done and over with, if anyone is still alive we will need to burn the Constitution, bill of right, and everything else. We need an entirely new government. Not some Capitalist monster either. We need to rapidly evolve if we’re going to survive.

      Should, yes. Along with packing the court, expanding the House, instituting term limits, instituting nationwide ranked choice voting, eliminating ICE, and closing as many loopholes in executive power as they possibly can over the course of four years.

      Of course, given the current DNC leadership’s track record, Project 2029 is probably just an index card with “rename ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ to ‘the Andrew M. Cuomo Federal Immigration Detention Facility’” and “Can We Officially Scowl At Donald Trump on the record?” right now. We need to primary everyone, at all levels, who doesn’t have an actionable plan and the will to carry it out.
