"the new class"

Terrorist- noun & adjective. A person who uses violent and intimidating methods in the pursuit of political aims. Oxford English Dicionary____________ "an eye for an eye" andy biggs, repuublican representative from arizona___________________________________ "i have a message tonight for merrick garland and jack smith and joe biden and the guys back there in the fake news media, you should listen up as well, this one is for you. If you want to get to president trump you are going to have to go through me , and you are going to have to go through 75 million americans just like me. and i am going to tell you , most of us are card carrying memebers of the n.r.a....that's not a threat, it's a public service announcement." kari lake, failed republican arizona gubenatorial aspirant________________ no keri, that is a definite threat...and so congress and the republican party become terrorist organizations ( with the full approval of the "sinners in the hands of an angry god" set andy was pandering to ) utilizing both implied and explicit threats of violence in defence of donny and their vision of what the country should be...and what might that look like? like any authoritatian state you might look into...an arrogant and doctinare elite bloating itself on wealth extorted from the mass of the polity in return for their shouldering of the onerous burdens of power with a middling group of "politically reliable" cadres to do the clerical work...and another strata of politically motivated denouncers fingering their neighbors lack of orthodoxy for a cut of their neighbor's goods ( a useful mechanism for keeping the masses at war with themselves...diverting their energy and initiative away from questioning why things are the way they are...a stasi state where distrust undermines dissent...and, no doubt, the majority of any confiscated property will be absorbed by "the state" which is, of course, that doctrinaire elite )...a thomas more like utopia where all behaviors are public ( surveiled ) and no private loyalties are sanctioned and where your facial fetures should be set in orwell's "expression of quiet optimism" just to be sure no one becomes suspicious...so is this rhetoric or are 75 million people just like keri ready to act ( and where does that leave the other 259,859,856 remainder of the country's population? )...some are, no doubt, they already have...how many is an open question and where does the comandant of the marine corps stand on all this? i have no idea...i would wager keri probbaly does not either even if she would not admit it ( she won't admit she lost an election so why would she be any less in denial about a lack of knowledge about the motivations of the polity at large? )...if it is rhetoric it is intended to unsettle ( and recall tacitus, "men's minds, once unsettled, are prepared to believe anything." don't let them confuse you ) the opposition and self-reassure the trumpists...if it is a call to action it could be actionable...whatever it is it is set in purely trumpist vocabulary...i have been compiling a list of words and phrases utterly debased by all this rhetoric just so i know who is who.
