War on Terror II

The Election of Donald Trump encrazened the left, and they keep getting crazier:

“The Jim Crow Republican Party and larger neofascist movement are escalating their war on democracy by passing laws across the country designed to stop Black and brown people from voting.”

“Fascist violence continues unabated.”

“The Taliban, all of them together, plus every Al Qaeda fighter in the world, do not pose the threat to the United States that Trump or Trumpist extremists do.”

Former CIA Director Halspel:  The US was ‘on the way to a right-wing coup’ after Trump lost the election!

Gen Milley feared President Trump would “go rogue,” so he convened a secret meeting of senior military officials.  (If anything looks like a potential coup, it’s generals meeting secretly) 

Stan McChrystal and other ‘experts’ have compared Trump voters to Al Qaeda and radicalized home-grown terrorist insurgents.

Bush is legitimizing the US turning the vast intelligence and surveillance apparatus he built to fight Islamist terror onto American citizens who dissent.

It is the duty of we who are old enough to remember what happened in the year and a half between 9/11 and the launch of the Iraq War to remember how the US Government and a compliant media manufactured public consent for that war. 

We have to tell our children about it — about how the people in power told lies to make us deathly afraid of the people they wanted to punish, even though those people (the Iraqis) had nothing to do with 9/11. … It’s starting to happen again — and George W. Bush yesterday laid down an important marker in that speech.
