Will citizenship save people? Obviously it is better to be a citizen than not. Citizenship provides some protection, at least by comparison with its absence, or with statelessness. The problem, though, is that citizens can find themselves borne along with the rationales applied to non-citizens. If we accept that Trump exercises power because of the *Führerprinzip*, then what is to stop him from saying that the people want to see the forcible rendition of 'homegrowns', of 'really bad people, every bit as bad as the ones coming in.' If citizens accept that we are living in a state of exception, then they are also accepting that they too can be treated exceptionally. Perhaps worst of all, if citizens accept the notion of stateless zones, of law that only functions as the servant of power, they are inviting their own deportation to places from which we will never return. If citizens endorse the idea that peole named by authorities as 'criminals' or 'terrorists' have no right to due process, then they are accepting that they themselves have no right to due process. It is due process, and due process alone, that allows you to demonstrate that you are a citizen. Without it, the masked men in the black vans can simply claim that you are a foreign terrorist and disappear you. *denotes italicised text extract from article State Terror: A Brief Guide For Americans, by Tim Snyder (link in main post)
