I think threatening to use the National Guard to fight Federal agents was a bad move.

**"The enemy’s gate is down" is a famous quote from Orson Scott Card's 1985 science fiction novel *Ender's Game* (also featured in its 2013 film adaptation).**
In the story, young genius Ender Wiggin trains at Battle School to fight an alien invasion. During zero-gravity battles in a cubic "battle room," cadets struggle with disorientation because traditional ideas of "up" and "down" don't apply—the room has no gravity or fixed orientation, and the square enemy gates provide no clues.
Ender realizes victory means getting soldiers through the enemy's gate. He reorients his team's perspective: **treat the enemy's gate as "down," turning free-float chaos into a simulated gravity pull toward the goal.** This makes attacks feel like "falling" feet-first, shrinking their target profile (legs as shields), enabling surprise angles, and psychologically demoralizing foes fixated on Earth-like orientations.
The mantra "Remember, the enemy's gate is down" becomes Dragon Army's rallying cry, leading to an undefeated streak.
It symbolizes **reframing problems by rejecting assumptions, defining reality around the objective, and using the environment's "chaos" (like zero-g) as an advantage**—a lesson echoed in business, military strategy, and self-help contexts.
The phrase has meme status online (e.g., xkcd comic #241 plays on "site down"), and recently surged in political X posts (e.g., by @HHS_Jim and @JackPosobiec on Jan 8-9, 2026) to signal vulnerability or attack opportunities.
Everyone assume he is referring to Walz but I am thinking bigger than just domestic, the globalist deep state in general, maybe Iran, and/or Cuba also.
