For example, the deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers across the country by the Trump administration sets a precedent. "A different ruler could use this precedent in a very damaging way for our free society", said podcaster Joe Rogan on his podcast. "It's a very dangerous precedent," he added.
There were recent ICE deployments to Los Angeles, Chicago and the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area of Minnesota, among other parts of the country that generally vote Democrat. Suspicions are mounting that Trump wants to us his ICE-GESTAPO police to control the midterm elections this November by scaring voters from going to the voting booth. Since the deterred voters are more likely to be Democrat voters in blue states, the net effect of this move would be to favor Republican voters and their candidates.
Viral footage of officers clashing with protesters and — in some cases — using excessive force rapidly spread across social media, sparking debates about the Trump administration's tactics to remove and deter undocumented immigrants.
"It is a very slippery slope when you give people — and they're trained for seven weeks; they're not trained very long. They're trained for much less time than police officers, much less time than military," Rogan said.
"And then you have this militarized police force that has no identification, and they're on the streets. That's a precedent that you might like it when it's for a cause that you support, but that could easily be for a cause you do not support," he added.
Rogan, who endorsed President Trump in 2024, has begun a soft retreat from his pro-Trump positions by, for example, comparing ICE operations to the "Gestapo." And now, he is gently inserting into the political discourse his cowardly mutation into a less favorable opinion of Trump, as he knows the direction of the winds of change. Republican snakes like him, who wholeheartedly supported the criminal demented moron Trump, are all changing their tunes because they know what the electorate will do next November.
"I am very concerned with this dangerous precedent. That's my feeling on it. So, I just worry that people accept it because they want this result now, and they don't realize that this could set up this being a common occurrence," Rogan said.

Any Democrat who replaces Donald Dumb in 2028 will use the same tactics against his Republican opponents, rivals, and red states who enabled the criminal Trump from breaking laws, norms and the constitution. Can't wait!
