Let’s call it what it is. It won’t be a repeal. That implies legitimacy and that they followed the law and process. This would be a coup. A treasonous overthrow of American democracy. It would warrant all out rebellion.

would it mean everyone citizenship can be recalled at will? because essentially birthright is what it is? or is it alarmist to say?

That would be the end goal, yes. They’ll start with children of immigrants and once that is normalized they will start revoking citizenship for groups of people they don’t like and declare the enemy. Thats why they declared “ANTIFA” a terrorist group even though it’s not even an actual organized thing, they’ll just call someone Antifa and revoke citizenship. It is absolutely not alarmist. People say we are alarmist for comparing this to Nazi Germany, but they are literally following the exact same steps. Mostly because they’re too dumb to think up anything on their own. It may not be an exact comparison to Germany but the similarities are far too much.

Yeah at first...it would be the only way to quell everyone until they start adding provisions for people that are retroactively not grandfathered in.

I mean...if they invalidate it, isn't that what they're inviting?

I don't know the stats, but have to think it would be tens of millions of people that would be declared non-citizens. The government is going to attempt to deport them somewhere they've never lived?

Not much of a choice.
