Beneath the "Marshall Law" joke is an issue of deadly seriousness.

Martial law means suspension of habeas corpus, which means limitless arrest and detention without having to prove any crime. It would mean suspending Congress -- and local government. It would mean dictatorship.

@tristansnell Which is EXACTLY what the GQP leaders and MAGAs want. Well, MAGA supporters *think* they want this because they think it will be used against “others”, i.e, POC, Dems, Libs, women, etc…. They don’t understand that they will be equally affected until it happens to them or someone they know. 🙄 #GQP #MartialLaw #MarshalLaw
