I have noticed little or no emphasis on the overseas "terrorist threat" for a while now.

Empires tend to turn their exploitation and control mechanisms inward when the foreign playground runs dry or is less viable.

It seems clear that the "Homeland/Fatherland" is now turned in on us and we are the "terrorists". Protests are patriotic and supported by the Constitution, until Fascist like Trump turn things upside down and utilize toxic rhetoric to frame the activity as anarchistic, (does he even know what anarchy is?) etc.

I am not surprised though. However, this is very, very ominous. My hopes are that the more the jackboot Trumptroopers roll out, the more the people will amass and increase the protests. I don't see any other way for the time being and it is a viable way to resist the regime now.
