Trump's fresh National Security Directive NSPM-7 defines "domestic terrorists"

Alternet - by Sabrina Haake - Opinion

Donald Trump’s lawless cabal has just declared war on an imaginary dragon they call “antifa.” National security directive NSPM-7 stipulates that anyone who insults Trump, calls him or his enablers “fascist,” or opposes Christo-nationalism is anti-American. Anyone deemed “anti-American” is a proper target of persecution.

To support the directive, Trump’s Department of Justice first removed from its website a National Institute of Justice study on domestic terrorism. The removed study showed that right-wing extremists are responsible for far more politically motivated violence than far-left extremists.

snip

Trump’s blatantly unconstitutional directive calls for “A new law enforcement strategy that investigates all participants in these criminal and terroristic conspiracies.” According to Trump, people will be targeted as domestic terrorists if they hold views that diverge from the far right’s views on “family,” “morality,” “race,” “gender,” “migration,” “Christianity,” or “capitalism.” Even trespassing is now considered a ‘politically motivated terrorist’ act, which is meant to repel reporters from ICE facilities.

snip

Applying plain English to his directive, Trump should have been imprisoned years ago. Failure to hold him legally accountable is the predicate crime now threatening the union.

(Given Haake's final sentence, how can she assert that this directive "cannot" stand up in court?)

uniforms" will allow Trump to arrest anyone on the streets protesting his actions, charge them with terrorism and disappear them to some detention center to be held for days/weeks/months. It's unconstitutional, of course, but he'll do it anyway.

hinting at putting the Southern Poverty Law Center in that category.

His primary objective is to make anything he dislikes disappear. Whether it's unemployment numbers, contagion statistics, or the 2020 election results, he's striving to keep the citizens (and liberal media) in the dark with lies and lack of data.
