In a set of fascistic speeches on Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House power broker Stephen Miller, and other top Trump administration officials labelled the political left as a “terrorist” threat and vowed to use all of the tools at their disposal to systematically destroy left-wing groups.

In his remarks, Miller spoke of the Trump administration’s goals under National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7) “to disrupt, identify, defund, debank, arrest, and prosecute these political terrorists.”

He said, without evidence, that there is an epidemic of violence among left-wing groups, and labelled leftists and left-wing organizations as “enemies of civilization” and a “cancer” that can “destroy a society” if not dismantled.

Miller went even further to say that not only left-wing groups, but also anyone who supports left-wing causes, must be subject to persecution. The issue with U.S. institutions, he said, is that they have grown too “soft” in cracking down on left-wing beliefs.

“Nothing that we do works if the threat of violence and terror goes on unchecked. Our political systems don’t work. Our judicial systems don’t work. Our legal systems don’t work. Our jury trials don’t work,” said Miller. “At the same time, we have to understand there’s a real threat that those who are not themselves terrorists but who support left-wing violence will create the conditions that allow that violence to go on.”

He even appears to acknowledge that a threat of widespread left-wing violence isn’t imminent, instead suggesting that the U.S. must work to “prevent a threat from occurring” and called on fellow Americans to work with the administration in targeting the left.

“It is the burden and the duty of good people of all walks of life to understand that you will always be accused of raising the alarm too loudly,” said Miller, invoking images of a “perfect family … that goes to church every Sunday” being destroyed by the left. “If you wait until the point where the worst outcome is so obvious that no one can deny it, you’ve already lost the battle.”

I honestly suspect Miller helped organize the tiki torch march.
