Now, Trump’s budget request reveals, the FBI runs a dedicated “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center”; with personnel from 10 federal agencies, it is busy “proactively” identifying domestic terrorists motivated by any of the following beliefs:

  • “anti-Americanism,”

  • “anti-capitalism,”

  • “anti-Christianity,”

  • “support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government,”

  • “extremism on migration,”

  • extremism on “race,”

  • extremism on “gender,”

  • “Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,”

  • Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on “religion,” and

  • Hostility towards those who hold traditional views on “morality.”

In other words, if your political views are practically anything other than MAGA, you’re on notice, courtesy of the FBI.

Most concerning to me is that they, very intentionally, didn't even make an effort to define any of those beliefs. It's vague enough to apprehend someone for literally any reason and throw a dart at the wall for any justification.

Advocate for basic human rights? Extremism, straight to jail. Advocate for pro-worker and pro-consumer measures? Anti-capitalism, straight to jail. Advocate for religious freedom and separation of church and state? Anti-Christianity and hostility, straight to jail. Overcook chicken? Anti-Americanism, straight to jail. Undercook chicken? Believe it or not, hostility toward morality, straight to jail.

    I like the way just about anyone here will score at least 80% on that list. I think I get a perfect grade, as long as "extremism" means wanting to treat people with kindness and respect.

    Traditional views on morality? So that mean I am free to have sex with men in the Roman tradition?

    Isn’t this against the 1 amendment? They can call any cristicism an extremist view, so it can be a dangerous discourse

    I hate capitalism. I hate Americanism. I fully support the overthrow of the current fascist US regime. I wholeheartedly think most of the current leadership should be guillotined.

    Okay, waiting.

    I would argue that MAGA embodies pretty much every one of these indicators

    Of course it does, but calling the right out on hypocrisy is a never ending and absolutely maddening endeavor.

    Cruelty is the point, and that's the only thing with which the right shows any consistency.

    I mean, all hyperbole aside, Trump himself could literally be arrested on a number of those points that they will be targeting. And that's a fact.
