A lot of people are freaking out over Trumps Executive order to disrupt leftist activity (hexbear.net)

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?

I mean, I don't think Trump's gonna really interrupt DSA.

I was thinking that he was gonna go for, like, cpusa, or the people protesting on the street.

I don't even think I've heard Trump mention the DSA.

remember he's a fucking moron who actually believes the propaganda

he's gonna go after dems, not leftists

[–] dastanktal@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking. He's going to go after Democrats.

As far as actual leftist politics go, it's pretty much par for the course.

Oh definitely, right wingers can totally tell the difference

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

that's the exact point they're making, they think the dems are violent communists

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It really doesn’t matter

[–] adultswim_antifa@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

And who's a democrat according to them? Nonwhite, gay, trans, college kids, muslims, homeless people...

cpusa

Other than having 'communist' in the name (which ain't nothing), CPUSA is to the right of DSA.

Oh I know but I don't expect Trump to know or care. I figured he would target them because of the name communist
