The Trump administration is drawing up “secret lists of terrorist groups inside the United States,” Senator Elissa Slotkin said on the floor of Congress yesterday — the first such reference to the effects of National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7). The directive, as I’ve reported, lays out Donald Trump’s policies with regard to equating “anti-Christian” and “anti-capitalist”…

“The Trump administration define[s] domestic terrorism incredibly broadly,” Slotkin said. “It suggests that any group that talks about anti-Christian values, views they don’t like on migration or race, differing views on the role of the family, religion, or morality could all be grounds for labelling an organization as domestic terrorists.”

    What you’ve got to realize here is the freedom they’re talking about is their freedom to oppress “the others.”

      Oh yes. They use the Southern notion of “liberty”, vs. the Northern notion. They really do think that if they are not privileged and set up to rule over others as “less than”, that they don’t have “freedom”.
