The US military going out of their way to attack a journalist is like 7000% more fascist than anything Donald Trump every dreamed of.

Biden turning DC into East Berlin is too by the way.
I want you to imagine what the chattering class would have to say if, as a result of criticizing how the US military fights wars, wide swaths of the military (in their official capacity!) swarmed on Rachel Maddow under a President Trump.
Every opinion page in the country would be dedicated to how grave a threat to our first amendment something like this was - surely only a possibility in an era of toxic white male patriarchy emboldened by Donald Trump, they would say - in its depraved, autocratic intentions.
Our nation’s capital is currently housing thousands of military personnel because there is, purportedly, a threat that requires acute military attention and, instead, our military has trained their sights on a tv host who said something they didn’t like.
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who finds these things preposterous.
Everything I post these days gets bombarded with dozens and dozens of “well, what about TRUMP?!” and I’m thinking maybe in lieu of my next thread I’ll teach you guys how to search what someone has tweeted about previously, a particular speciality of mine.
