Focus

The Trump regime vows to focus its suppression campaign on those crazy people who dare to be not right-wing.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told officials from more than 60 countries on Thursday that the United States would seek to ​refocus international counterterrorism efforts on what he called “far-left terror”, arguing that left-wing violence had long been overlooked.

Right. Trump has notoriously been lax on punishing anyone he considers to be to the left of him, in other words most people.

Trump has made countering left-wing groups a priority. Trump singled ​out the antifa movement on the campaign trail in 2024, and vowed to take action against left-wing groups he accuses of fomenting violence after ⁠the killing of conservative activist and Trump ally Charlie Kirk last year.

Trump on the other hand doesn’t bother to foment violence, he just goes ahead and perpetrates it. Dropping bombs on people in tiny boats is his favorite.

Eleven Democratic lawmakers wrote to Rubio on Wednesday questioning the evidence for the new focus on left-wing groups and called the White House’s May counterterrorism strategy, which did not mention neo-Nazi or other far-right groups, a “politically partisan document.”

The letter, obtained by Reuters, referred to concerns that designating groups as far-left terror organizations risked targeting lawful protests and political opponents.

“We strongly urge the Department to return its focus to a serious mission set that is definitionally apolitical, data-driven, and rooted in reality, instead of rubberstamping the political priorities of extremists ​within the Administration whose views and policies put ​U.S. national security – and the American people – ⁠at risk,” wrote the lawmakers.

The letter, of course, is an exercise in futility.

At the conference, White House ​deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said leftists were driven by “envy and hatred” and derided antifa demonstrators as “all deformed in some way, in ​their appearance, in their ⁠dress, in their mannerism”.

“Why is there not one normal-looking person among them? Every one of them, through the course of their life and their decisions, has scarred their body and their appearance in many different ways to the point in which their outer appearance becomes a manifestation of their inner hatred,” Miller said.

There’s your one normal-looking person. Why can’t we all look like him?
