I might get nuked for this, but I feel like we're arguing for or against the best way for Republicans to violate our rights. Neither of these options are okay, and the TSA is a fucking poorly funded play.
That school of thought would have to include the fact that if rights don't apply, neither do laws, and being "an illegal" wouldn't exist because those rights and laws no longer apply.
It falls apart when you spend 0 seconds thinking about it.
What's it looking like for a third party? Action 2.5 years later isn't action at all. We tried the "please barely don't be fascists" and it didn't work. Where are we going to put our vote to move forward?
That is my point entirely. It would just require evidence, just like anything else.
