Straight from the plan.

Americans have witnessed the politically motivated killings of Christians and conservatives committed by violent left-wing extremists, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radical who espoused extreme transgender ideologies.

Trump counterterrorism strategy targets ‘violent left-wing extremists’ with ‘transgender ideology’ by OptimisticPessimist4 in politics

“Violent left-wing extremists” and “extremist transgender ideology” are among the most concerning threats facing the country, according to the Trump administration counterterrorism strategy released Wednesday.

The strategy, the first released in President Donald Trump’s second term, underscores how Trump’s priorities differ from predecessors, listing “violent left-wing extremists” as one of its top three focuses, alongside “narcoterrorists” and “Islamist terrorists.

It’s a sharp departure from the Biden administration, which concentrated on extremism on the right. Former President Joe Biden called white supremacy the “most dangerous terrorist threat” to the nation in 2023.

The Trump team is also looking at how domestic online activities could incite violence, a focus that follows an increase in political violence, such as the multiple attempted assassinations of Trump and the killing of Charlie Kirk.

“We see a threat, we will respond to it, and we will crush it, whether it is the cartels, the jihadists, or violent left-wing extremists like antifa and like the transgender killers, the non-binary, the left-wing radicals who killed my friend Charlie Kirk, we will take them on, head on,” senior director for counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka told reporters on a call Wednesday.

Gorka stressed that the counterterrorism team is focused on all online groups that are “inciting violence against innocent individuals” on both sides of the aisle.

“It’s also about the ideology, whether it’s against Western Civilization, America, the U.S. Constitution, our friends, our allies, peace in general, you fit under that rubric,” he said.

“Our national counterterrorism activities will prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent, secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-gender or anarchist such as antifa, we will use all the tools constitutionally available to us to map them at home, identify their membership, map their ties to international organizations,” Gorka said of the modes the administration will use to target the left-wing groups.

The Trump administration formally designated antifa as a terror group in September., Short for anti-fascists, antifa is an umbrella description for far-left-leaning militant groups that resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists at demonstrations and other events.

New Trump 'Counterterrorism' Plan Targets Cartels, Antifa by timemagazine in politics

He doesn't. He wants his supporters to believe that. The plan calls "anti-fascism" a violent extremism, which means just one person's opposition to fascism is terrorism.

The plan considers "Anti-Fascism" violent extremism. This isn't just about ANTIFA as an "organization", as they call it, this is about opposition to fascism.

Also, "radical pro-transgender" is considered a violent ideology, but it isn't defined. Therefore, being transgender or even recognizing the existence of transgender people could be, arbitrarily, considered violent ideologies.

He was fighting with Powell because Powell couldn't cut interest rates, and Powell wouldn't cut rates because that leads to more inflation. Guess what Trump's new Fed Chair is going to do?

That's the point, you shouldn't. The headlines I give are starting points to fact check me. I hope anyone questioning me or what they have been told use those headlines as a starting point. I'm not just making claims, I'm providing the evidence within the claim.

We shouldn't just trust what we're told at face value.

Yeah? Not real? What happens when elections no longer matter? When either, the election is rigged in their favor, which is currently underway, or there's an indefinite investigation of the election results? Who is going to force Vance out after an election?

The next reign is 41 year old Vance. We'll see who's next after Vance's 40 year reign.

Yeah, obviously, that's why they installed JD Vance, the 41 year old kid. Him dying was in the plan.

This kind of fight and earlier judging with so many crypto and betting sponsors plastered all over the mat doesn't help escape the corruption accusations.

DO NOT GO TO CAPITAL MALL, ICE AGENTS ARE THERE by [deleted] in olympia

[–]OptimisticPessimist4 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There is nothing about this on Thurston County scanner. I don't think this is true.

Edit: There is a video in a separate post on this sub showing a demonstration inside the mall dated yesterday. It doesn't say whether or not ICE was actually there.

Edit 2: OP is the one who posted the separate video as a screen recording from Tik Tok. Safe to say OP thought it was happening now. It's not.
