Like the government hasn’t had that since at least Sept 11,2001?
That was actually about terrorism. This is just people who won't pretend to like Trump.
They've had lists, and overly inclusive ones, but never this broad:
He's just saying the quiet part out loud. I don't believe for a fucking second that previous administrations weren't making lists of political enemies.
The new bit is how broad the criteria are for getting on the list.
So it was fine when only radicals and minorities were on the list?
All Trump has done is expand the repression to normal people. It's your problem too, now.
I don't know where you get the idea anyone thinks it was fine. We've known it was terrible ever since the early 2000s. It just got a bit worse.
The people warning us about Trump's list were silent about the other lists. Do you think Elissa Slotkin cared if Biden kept lists of anti-Zionists protesting the genocide? There are definitely some people who have been concerned about the lists of targets the government keeps no matter who the President is, but Senators don't give a shit unless their people are on the list.
Right, yes, it's typical privileged centrist liberal stuff. Much closer to the fascists than they like to think.
