The ‘American Taliban’ Bogeyman
A terror threat from foreign Muslims doesn’t advance the Left’s political agenda. An internal threat that gives them greater power and control does.

President Biden’s Afghanistan debacle reinserted the Taliban into America’s public discourse this week. The bearded jihadis now control the landlocked country again and experts worry this may lead to more Islamic terror. But most leftists aren’t shaken from the real threat to America: white Trump supporters. Leftists even now call them the “American Taliban.”
Several months of propaganda that “domestic terrorists” threaten to overturn the government and kill millions of people isn’t going to disappear overnight in the face of an actual terror threat. The proponents of this insidious idea only exploit this situation to further commit themselves to their pet theory.
Late-night pundit Stephen Colbert thrilled his audience when he told them the real Taliban is at home. He supported Biden’s withdrawal because, as he said, we need our soldiers to fight the January 6 “radicals.” The notion our army should kill the political enemies of leftists drew wild applause from the crowd.
