Between this and the recent NSPM-7, the difference is the outward rhetorical combined with a directive of “pre-action”: stop these things before they commit crimes.

This changes the state of things into truly thought policing, not through unspoken, implicit societal norms, but with the authority and blunt force of the regime’s might.

It feels like we’re being fomented into a civil war while strategically weakening us on the global stage. It’s almost like the duty to the constitution & country has “left the chat.” I say “almost” because I have 3 kids and don’t want to be disappeared.

    Quietly because we were ashamed. Loud because now we’re proud of it.
    
    I leave it to the public to judge which of those are better.

The problem is not that he says it, but that he says it out loud.

Yes. Though others before him weren’t exactly quiet about it either.
