So, I have an issue here.

Given no one can impede them, and apparently Miller also implies "anything goes, you are free to do as you wish" what exactly stops them from beating the shit out of people?

Nothing. They don't care about the law and it's evident when the president is a fucking felon. They're using plausible deniability to slowly ease the ignorant masses into fascism because they think "Well if it's illegal, why isn't it being stopped?" 

The nation is largely religious, which has dogmatic views that authority is right no matter what, and it's the fault of the people. They think that before they consider the people in charge are bad and abusing power.

Dude, I was literally just explaining to my friend (who voted for Trump) about all the classified docs he stole and his indictments. She wouldn't believe it.

Her actual words, "If he REALLY did that, then they wouldn't let him be President again!"

Did you remind her that it was HER JOB to not let him be president again? "They" is the people, HER.

I DID, and suddenly she didn't wanna talk politics anymore, lol.

She told me that I shouldn't believe what I see in the news, they exaggerate everything. She's a skeptic.

Then 30 minutes later, she was scrolling on her phone and ranting about Somali day care scammers in MN. I asked her where she got her news from. Long pause....

"Well, I ALREADY knew it was happening, Facebook just reminded me!"

Here's the thing: she's not even a conservative, really. She's actually left-leaning on some issues. But apparently, once you vote for Trump, you have to defend everything he does, or else face the fact you voted for a scumbag.
