The Deep State Thinks

Trump Supporters Are
the New Al-Qaeda

Healthy democracies don’t label the opposition "terrorists" and eliminate basic civil liberties.

The Washington Examiner, an ostensibly “conservative” publication, published an article this week demanding we treat right-wing “extremists” like al-Qaeda.

In the article, former Homeland Security official Kevin Carroll argued we must do five things to protect our nation from this menace. The first is to “bring the heaviest felony charges possible on as many participants in the [Capitol] insurrection.” “We ruthlessly hunted down foreign terrorists after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and must do the same to their domestic equivalents,” Carroll writes. This assumes that a few hundred demonstrators illegally entering the Capitol and taking selfies is equivalent to the 9/11 attacks.

The second act is to make all law enforcement and firemen sign loyalty oaths that commit them to “not to engage in acts to overthrow the government.” Failure to uphold this oath will result in federal prosecution and departments that fail to implement such measures could be stripped of federal funds.

The third act is to “ban extremist chatter through government censorship or private de-platforming, use radical chat rooms as honeypots, as FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Forces have done with violent, radicalized Islamists since 2001.”

The fourth measure calls for the abolition of militias.

The Examiner has gone to the dark side.

Yes, they think we are al Qaeda, and they're acting on it.  We're in for some pretty rough times.  They're calling it "Political Insurgence," and that will inevitably lead to "Political Prisoners."

Abolition of Citizen militia's?

Seems that is already a constitutionally protected area.  Not that the POS left wing wouldn't want to fully rewrite the Constitution.

1775 and 1861 were also dates of insurgency.  For good or bad, sometimes extreme political discourse needs resolution.  js.

As Winston Churchill once said, "To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war."  The left is demanding the latter while we prefer the former, and that's the imbalance in the system right now.

You can't win by "jawin'" with communists.

The only options:
1. Flight
2. Fight
3. Submit.

To be clear, Winnie was no slouch when was time to war-war.

Jaw first, War later. I agree that we're fed up with all that jaw-jaw we're getting.

Oh, and who fires that shot that will be heard 'round the world?

This is nothing new.

Under the first two terms of the Illegal Alien Kenyan Fascist there was concerted deep-state effort to label normal American activities and associations as seditious and terroristic, such as being a veteran, owning a gun, being white, that kind of thing.
