I keep seeing people talking about NSPM-7 which directs all federal agencies to basically monitor, disrupt, preemptively arrest leftist activists.

In my mind this has always been a thing. This isn’t so much a policy change as voicing out loud what the policy has been. Materially US spying and abusing their citizens is pretty much par for the course.

Is this something I am not taking seriously enough or are the libs whipped up into a frenzy again?

    With all of these policies, I’m not really worried about the Trump admin doing anything beyond chasing their own tail. What I’m worried about is when the dems get back in power and try to do all of these policies more competently in an attempt to win over racist suburbanites who hate them.

      maybe dems will take back house / senate in midterms or maybe trump will solidify power and disband dems before then. Still two sides of the same imperialist coin
