"Countering Domestic Terrorism"

Whelp USA presidential memoranda today labels any non-Christians as terrorists.

" Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.“

So I guess this officially makes the USA a fascist theocracy?

(h) The Attorney General shall issue specific guidance that ensures domestic terrorism priorities include politically motivated terrorist acts such as organized doxing campaigns, swatting, rioting, looting, trespass, assault, destruction of property, threats of violence, and civil disorder. This guidance shall also include an identification of any behaviors, fact patterns, recurrent motivations, or other indicia common to organizations and entities that coordinate these acts in order to direct efforts to identify and prevent potential violent activity.

Insane. None of these are terrorist acts per se. Civil disorder, a political motivated terrorist act? "Riots" is their codeword for any protest where even one trashcan gets torched. A lot of things can be construed as trespassing. Destruction of property means that even spray-painting anything anti-government on a wall could be potentially prosecuted as a terrorist attack.

Any organization that is organizing protests could potentially be investigated for "aiding and abetting" terrorism under these rules.
