Trump Is Building a Maximalist Government
In a series of actions this week, the president sought to expand the governmentβs reach.
The New York Times uses the word βmaximalistβ because itβs afraid to use the word βdictatorship.β

Seizing the property of private organizations to punish dissent is totalitarianism.
It is illegal, anti-Conservative, Soviet, and sickening.
Yet people who drool βfreedomβ whisper not a word to object. Lift not a finger.

This is a disgrace - the United States spitting on its own soldiers because they come from a minority the ruling clique holds in contempt. The people who made this decision have a special circle of hell waiting for them; liberals should fight to the bitter end to give these soldiers their due.
