This situation worries me. You have an aggressive, armed, most likely very partisan but poorly screened and trained paramilitary goon squad larger than the USMC not getting their bonus until after the 2026 congressional and 2028 presidential elections.

These “agents” will be very motivated to play a role in ensuring that the elections result in only one way, and the president has made no bones putting his hand on the scale. Don’t be surprised if we see the Praetorian Guard play a role in the upcoming elections.

Thats probably the point.
