this is the list of ideological identifiers laid out in the NSPM-7 that would predict violence, and are all of course, incredibly reasonable positions or just ridiculous framing, like “extremism on gender” which is just being pro-trans:

I love being Christian, but all this anti-christianity really oppressed me until last election. I guess I'll comfort myself by going to Chick-fil-A, hang out at my downtown tax-exempt church, and enjoy my federally recognized paid religious holidays.

"what like 'give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,' those views?" "pfff NO you know the ones i mean"

I see they're labelling long and widely established mainstream views as "extremism" now. And people are still being shouted-down for pointing out the similarities with 1930s Germany. The people shouting-down are not moderates, and they're more dangerous than the fascists they're enabling.

Oh they're gonna make it broader than that! Women having rights? Sounds a little extreme 🤔 PoC not wanting to be second class citizens? That's race extremism Jews, Mormons or Catholics refusing to convert? They must be anti-Christian!

covers every right-winger too, "extremism on race, migration" and so on. this is another "everybody is a terrist!!!!" tantrum from miller and co

They literally want to make caring about a human life because it's a human life into a crime. If you care about, Poor people Black and brown people Trans people Forigne people And or, Critise the current administration and Christianity for not doing so.

Ironically, the only extremism on gender that I see are right wingers murdering people because of their gender, but I’m sure that’s not The one that they were talking about here!

And I'm guessing their definitions of "extremism on race, gender, and migration" are being opposed to racism, misogyny, and what ICE is doing, on even the most basic level. He wasn't kidding when he said "we took away the freedom of speech".

I like how a plain reading of the list has several entries clearly apply to the Trump administration. Like they definitely are extremists when it comes to immigration, but of course they don’t mean it like that.

Of course, they have very specific groups in mind right now, and I see that clearly and don't for a moment discount the intent and heavy bias. But this is also wide enough to include almost anyone. It could include me - white middle class cis hetero tax paying lefty software guy.

also: noem is shacked up with lewandowski despite both being married; miller is doing a cuck thing with his wife & musk; trump’s a rapist on a third marriage. obvs pointing out hypocrisy is tired & pointless but none of those things sound v supportive of traditional American views on family

The funniest to me is the "traditional American views on religion" because the founding fathers were a bunch of "enlightenment" era snobs who had, for the time, pretty untraditional views on religion.

Obviously this sort of stuff isn't meant to be applied in any way that isn't totally destructive to everything from its inception, but "extremism" on migration, race, or gender goes both ways in an up front reading of the phrases, and would mean that literally everyone is a terrorist.

gotta love how "extremism on migration" is implied to be people who wants immigrants to have human rights instead of the ones who want to kill and toss them away.
