It certainly tracks too that the Trump Court wants to stamp down on, in their very own words, 'anti-Fascist' groups.

Well I don't know about you, but there's nothing *I* love more than to be lectured by a British-Hungarian-American nazi about why demanding due process before we traffic a man legally residing in the United States with his American family, to a forever torture prison in El Salvador, is actually supporting terrorism; and if powerful administration officials are to be believed, so is protesting against Trump and his fascist regime:

Trump Adviser Compares Opposing Abrego García’s Detention With Backing Terrorism

"As independent journalist Ken Klippenstein reported, White House Senior Director for Counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka said in an interview with Newsmax that the divide between the Trump administration, which has sent hundreds of people to a notorious foreign prison without trial and disobeyed a Supreme Court order, and those who oppose its actions boils down to a disagreement between those who “love America” and those who “hate America.”

Those committed to abandoning constitutional rights guaranteed to anyone on U.S. soil, according to Gorka, are in the former camp.

“We have people who love America, like the president, like his Cabinet, like the directors of his agencies, who want to protect Americans,” said Gorka. “And then there is the other side, that is on the side of the cartel members, on the side of the illegal aliens, on the side of the terrorists.”

“And you have to ask yourself, are they technically aiding and abetting them?” Gorka said. “Because aiding and abetting criminals and terrorists is a crime in federal statute.”

Let's start by stating the obvious: in a just universe, Sebastian Gorka would have been tried, convicted, and "deported" via rocket directly towards the sun years ago; but here in our modern fascist-dominated unreality, this little nazi muppet is the Trump regime's "Senior Director for Counterterrorism." In other words, this bloated fascist toad is the guy literally in charge of going after "terrorists," which if you've been paying attention, is also the word multiple Trump administration officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, and deputy DHS secretary Troy Edgar, have used to describe Tesla vandals, and protestors in general.

As such, it should absolutely alarm you when Seb Gorka goes on TV, repeats and reinforces the government's fact free claim that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is literally a "terrorist," and starts accusing people who oppose Trump's illegal "deportation" of Garcia of potentially "aiding and abetting" terrorists; because, again, for some mysterious reason (they're all nazis too) the Trump regime gave this disgraced War on Terror-era reject authority over protecting America from whoever the hell the regime says are "terrorists" apparently. How Gorka finds the time to do so amid his typically busy day of doing Islambophia, warmongering, and spreading fascist ideology, remains a mystery.

Look, I hate to keep beating the drum about American imperialism and War on Terror policy decisions being why we're in this moment, but ultimately almost everything the Trump regime is trying to do to transform the United States into a fascist dictatorship rises out of those two horrible realities. Trump is using a fake "war" against "gangs" that the president alone has the right to declare "terrorists" for any reason at all, to grant him emergency powers to do all sorts of fascism; and Gorka (as well as other regime officials) are quietly, but repeatedly asserting the regime's right to take this fight against "terrorism" to the streets of America. On its face, none of this is legal; but given the ridiculous Calvinball powers our society has already granted the imperial presidency to make war, fight "invasions," and stop "terrorism," it's entirely possible these chucklefucks will get away with it - especially with a 6-3 fascist high Supreme Court that has already allowed Trump to declare a fake war in the first place, holding final say on the legality of the regime's actions.
