Trump's Policies XI

Trump’s Antifa Terror

Only in Trump's world, and the minds of his sheep, is anti-fascism a bad thing. I wonder why?

In September, following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Trump issued an executive order labeling antifa a “domestic terrorist organization.” But there’s no such thing in American law: The First Amendment prevents the government from regulating ideology or association, which is among the reasons the Biden administration never formally slapped the label on domestic right-wing extremist groups.

Many in the counterterrorism world are disturbed by what all this portends. “When we target these groups, we target networks,” said the national security official. “By having this very loose definition and making them a high priority, it opens the door to targeting Americans.” Investigations can pull in people three or four degrees of separation from a target. That means an American attending an anti-Trump or anti-ICE protest in the U.S. might suddenly find that law enforcement has connected them to, say, an Italian eco-extremist. “You can charge anyone for material support,” the recently retired counterterrorism official told me. “If [left-leaning groups] are funding protests that, in their view, are terrorists, then [the Trump administration] can go after them. It’s a slippery slope.”

“While you’re running around chasing anarchist grad students in ski masks who are a minor annoyance at best,” the former counterterrorism official said, “you’re not focusing on the people who have the motivation and capacity to do real damage.”

earlier this month the State Department sent a counterterrorism delegation to Germany, Greece, Italy, and the U.K., where they asked their counterparts for cooperation on rooting out antifa elements. In the first three countries, they were met with confusion: Those governments were founded at the end of World War II with anti-fascism as a core ideology. And in the U.K.—as in Germany—the government is far more worried about the far right than it is about the far left.

So basically... Anyone who is not a Christian Nationalist / Dominionist.

What in the world would be ‘extremism on race’?

Being Too mixed?

Not white enough?

Reading all that is reaffirming for me that I made the right non move in technically still being registered as a Republican voter.

They sure are gathering a lot of lists and information.
