Related: About this forumTrump is Making His List of Domestic ENEMIES
The Justice Department has issued a new memo that directs the FBI to treat certain political beliefs as potential signs of domestic terrorism, creating major concerns about free speech. The order, implementing National Security Presidential Memorandum Seven, tells agents to identify and map networks of culpable participants and then expands the definition to include ideas such as strong support for immigration, criticism of capitalism, criticism of Christianity, and views labeled anti American. These beliefs are not illegal, yet the memo instructs the FBI to use tools like financial tracking, digital surveillance, undercover work, and referral to terrorism task forces when they appear. It also requires a continually updated list of domestic groups tied to these indicators and urges prosecutors to use the harshest charges available. Experts warn that linking political views to national security risks blurring the line between dissent and danger and reflects the early structure of an authoritarian style system.

... the worst thing to happen to this country since the Civil War. He has to be stopped, as do all of his enablers.
The really sick part is that despite the burgeoning evidence that is policies are wildly unpopular, it never occurs to him to modify his behavior. He cannot conceive of ever admitting that he was wrong about anything. He just doubles down and declares that disagreeing with him is treason.
The motherfucker's batshit crazy, and flat out evil down to his DNA.
