The 2026 counterterrorism strategy, recently released by the WH states that:
Currently we face three major types of terror groups:
Narcoterrorists and Transnational Gangs
Legacy Islamist Terrorists
Violent Left-Wing Extremists, including Anarchists and Anti-Fascists
Did you catch that? If you are "anti-fascist" then you are now considered a terrorist by this administration.
I don't know how much more clear these people can make it that they are coming to get us and shut us down. They believe we, as Americans, expressing our opinions, are the enemy.
Who is perfectly fine people in their opinion? Pedophiles, drug dealers, grifters and dictators.
Are we great yet?

They Want to Kill Americans. It was published in 2022.
Nance gives a background on the various RW groups from militias to the Klan to white nationalists and Christian nationalists. He describes how their goals mingled and coalesced in support of Trump.
One goal is to deport or kill all non white people in the US, citizen or not, in order to make the US completely White only. After that, or during that process, the goal is to eliminate liberals as race traitors.
Nance mentions 4 stages that such plans go through to achieve their goals of taking over a nation completely. From his description, we are moving through stage 3 now and headed to stage 4.

(3,626 posts)Killing babies by convincing the parents not to get them vaccinated. The cruise ship deaths exacerbated by RFK jr firing all the sanitation inspectors. Trump wants AI to decide if a person receives life saving care or not. Soon it will be starvation and homelessness for minimum wage workers. They will not be able to afford to even get to work. That will spiral out. What Trump is doing is an act of war against Americans and our country. He needs to be tried for treason.

(26,380 posts)Before the edit I typed that the goal was to killed Americans, citizens or not. It should have said that the goal was to kill *non White* Americans.
But I also believe, though Nance did not mention it, that Trump and his oligarchs want to "thin the herd" by killing off people who are below certain income levels and people with disabilities or serious illnesses because their care costs too much. If they don't have enough money to pay for surgery, medicines, physical therapy, and medical equipment like wheel chairs, leg braces, walkers, etc., too bad. Let "nature" winnow them out. Regarding vaccinations, if they die from an illness, it was meant to be. Superior people with superior genes will survive.
It's social Darwinism. Instead of cooperation and helping each other in bad times, they favor competition and everyone fending for themselves. Except they do seem to believe in the richest and strongest banding together for cooperation in eliminating anyone they think is not worthy of life.
You can see in Trump's life where this attitude comes from. His father could not tolerate weakness or any kind of failure or illness in his children. The only thing Donald had going for him was his family's wealth which made him feel superior to others. So when he encountered kids at the military academy that he went to, and later in college, who came from wealthier families, he was driven to seek that wealth for himself, in any way possible, legitimate or not.
He's such a hypocrite, though, because whenever HE screws up, or misfortune comes to HIM, he expects to get help and be bailed out by someone else. Most recently, it's Iran that he expects the world to help him with.
People like that do not understand the evolutionary terms of survival of the fittest and natural selection. Those terms only mean that when the environment changes, people (and other life forms) need to adapt to the changes biologically and socially. Biologically, the ability to adapt (evolve) is a toss of the dice. Genes that work in one setting might not work in another. Socially, cooperation is a good adaptation, for individuals and for the species.
More than 2 millennia ago, the Bible expressed how everyone is vulnerable and no one can assume lasting superiority. I think it's in the book of Ecclesiastes. This is not exactly verbatim, but from memory, it says that the race is not to the swift or strong, but time and circumstances happen to all.
