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".
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.
If they had enough material between their ears they could figure out what the opposite of an anti-fascist is. They're almost there but the neurons can't quite reach.
Capitalism is a useless word because few people understand it the same. The supremacy of capital owning class is the most common understanding of both pro and anti Capitalists.
But Capitalism is originally defined as free and fair markets, and so against Supremacist corruption of markets where the counterparty negotiation class is necessarily oppressed.
So exterminating all government supremacist supporting politician minions, and nationalizing all of their donors' assets is the real proper interpretation of these domestic terrorists. But a bigger problem than intending the opposite, is that it is subject to absolutist expansion of supremacism. Refusing 16 hour shifts, or corporal punishment authority granted to your managers, or not letting a better richer capitalist destroy the land/property of a lesser poorer owner becomes anti-capitalist when Fox news/CNBC tells you it is.

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?

Minority Report is the name of the movie, for anyone curious.

Quietly because we were ashamed. Loud because now we’re proud of it.
I leave it to the public to judge which of those are better.

The problem is not that he says it, but that he says it out loud.

Yes. Though others before him weren't exactly quiet about it either.

There is no such thing as a domestic terrorist list. So idk what he's even adding them too.

Ok, I am definitely not setting foot in the US for a long while. Let's be realistic, probably ever again.

Republican thought experiment: if Trump is the sworn enemy of anti fascists, then what does that make him?

Isn't domestic terrorism sending troops into your own cities when there is no reason (or a made up reason) for it?
