Agreed, the only calculation that makes sense is if they try to dismantle elections to stay in power. It’s the only way it makes sense.

I don’t think they were counting on so much hate that ICE agents were quitting long before getting their bonuses, or being so reviled; in their fantasy they were lauded as saviors, not mocked so badly that ICE agents quit.

I increasingly notice people say they were “never MAGA, I was always independent”. It’s been a noticeable shift.

It seems like a pretty obvious tactic to put ICE agents outside of every polling booth, checking papers and intimidating anyone with slightly brown skin from voting. "Best" case (for them) is if riots break out. Then they can call martial law and just call off the elections.
