Welp.
Ok, I am definitely not setting foot in the US for a long while. Let's be realistic, probably ever again.
Then call me a terrorist.
- Please don't make me do this.
Republican thought experiment: if Trump is the sworn enemy of anti fascists, then what does that make him?
- Mad toothbrush moustache person?
This is so much worse than most of y'all seem to be taking it. This officially, with the force of law, turns anyone against the regime into a terrorist. The government has extra resources and abilities to go after terrorists, and the charge carries heavy prison time. Also, district attorneys love terrorism charges as wins on their record. They'll happily nail any one of us.
To my mind, nothing Trump has ever done is this scary.
- There is no such thing as a domestic terrorist list. So idk what he's even adding them too.
Trump really was inspired by Hitler in every way, in a very unironic fashion.
Remember to stay focused people
Hasn't it always been treated as such?
The fedboys were moving around Occupy like they were engineering a coup in a poor brown country.
So orange boy made it official?
- Between this and the recent NSPM-7, the difference is the outward rhetorical combined with a directive of “pre-action”: stop these things before they commit crimes.
  This changes the state of things into truly thought policing, not through unspoken, implicit societal norms, but with the authority and blunt force of the regime’s might.
  It feels like we’re being fomented into a civil war while strategically weakening us on the global stage. It’s almost like the duty to the constitution & country has “left the chat.” I say “almost” because I have 3 kids and don’t want to be disappeared.

  Yes. What was the name of that movie again... Anyhow this sort of shit has been quietly happening in many countries now, all at least partly inspired by the USA's "War on Terrorism".
- It’s McCarthyism 2.0, as American as apple pie
  
  Considering Roy Cohn was Trump's mentor you could consider it a continuation of the original
- The problem is not that he says it, but that he says it out loud.
- So orange boy made it official?
  Yes. Though others before him weren't exactly quiet about it either.
Please do not struggle in the face of your certain demise
So...thought police?
Projection
