If "viasmos" means "rape" in Greek

(thank you Google Translate)

is "viasmosarchy" rule by rapists?

And another question: I just read that It reiterated today it's pledge to call out the military to perform mass deportations. What do I do when they come for my neighbors?

Heartsick here.

the use of the military in civilian law enforcement action.

It appears to overrule the 'Insurrection Act' of 1807 which allowed use of US troops to intervene in law enforcement agaainst civilians, but you never know nowadays with rethugs running rampant in higher reaches of government now. The trump cabal might just take matters to the corrupt SCOTUS 6 to get permission to us the US military against civilians.
