Step 1. Turn peaceful protests violent with masked ICE thugs attacking the protesters.

Step 2. Call in the National Guard to escalate the violence by being violent with the peaceful protesters.

Step 3. Activate the Marines causing more violence, blaming the protesters and giving Marines orders to shoot and kill protesters, spurring nationwide protests.

Step 4. Declare nationwide martial law, suspending Congress and courts, cancelling all future elections.

Far fetched? Nope.
