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?

"it's always been a thing" is hypernormalization.

Truly is, so tired of reading this 2016 era trite, discussing ending bullshit. It’d be fine if it was just memery but it’s always said under the guise of a serious conversation
