"In other news, a terrorist organization known as 'The Union' has been interfering with beneficial and necessary corporate operations. Militarized police have been dispatched to restore the rightful order..."

My first reaction was: "Hey, what the fuck?"

And then I realized this is really just a slight escalation of federal US powers assigned to a person who usually wouldn't have them.

Think of the "No fly" lists. No court, no evidence, no appeal. So really just his usual practicing running a little fascist experiment down there in prep for his expectation of doing the same federally while president.

Branding a minority advocacy group as a terrorist organization seems like an excellent way to radicalize its members...

USA is not a democracy, it's a shitshow plagiarizing democracy.
