Alternet - by Sabrina Haake - Opinion
Donald Trumps 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, Trumps 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.

Trumps 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 rights 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.

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?)

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.
