While I don't think we should show them our violent side, I would not evoke fears of martial law. Trump wants people to naturally follow the concept of martial law because he does not have the resources or support to enact it. It's what AOC said; "Do not comply in advance". Don't believe any claims that the gestapo "could choose to make things worse".

Like he didn't have the resources to push the invasion of Venezuela through Congress?

Kidnapping sole individuals, even presidents, turns out to not require quite as many resources as you’d think. They focus on these sole moments of fear because they don’t have the means to accomplish the pervasive military occupation they want. Hence very poorly directed National Guard deployments where the guard is puttering around unsure what’s expected of them (because Trump is afraid to say the quiet part out loud: Beat citizens)

or support to enact it.

Didn't stop him from kidnapping Maduro. He doesn't give a shit about laws, neither does ICE.
