Their primary objective of Martial Law will be to suspend the mid-term elections, and they don't want to show that hand too early, and give it time to get through the courts.
So they'll wait until next summer, when the protests have grown huge, and the enraged citizens are on the warpath. They'll send in their RedHats to instigate violence, then send in armed authorities to quell the street violence with ferocious armed violence. That will be met with more violence, and the streets of American cities will look like Hong Kong.
Then they will use that as justification for Martial Law, and suspend elections until peace is restored, and since HitlerPig controls the peace that will never happen.
Next summer is going to be wild.
Not migrants, ANYONE they designate as a terrorist, such as anyone who vandalizes a Tesla, or even protests at a dealership.
The slippery slope has been built, now they're just pouring Diddy's unused lubriant on it.
