    It’s the same contradictions all the way down the list.

    “anti-capitalism”

    So anyone who supports the government directly and arbitrarily interfering with private businesses? Like Trump is doing constantly?

    “anti-Christianity”

    So, anyone opposed to helping the poor and needy? Anyone who doesn’t treat foreigners with respect and kindness? Anyone who skipped over that whole “meek shall inherit the Earth” thing?

    “support for the overthrow of the United States Government”

    So, Trump and MAGA.

    “extremism on migration”

    Also Trump and MAGA.

    “extremism on race”

    Trump and MAGA.

    “extremism on gender”

    Trump and MAGA.

        If that’s a conspiracy theory, I guess I’m a conspiracy theorist now. “Terrorist” as context in legal wording carries a lot of weight, and can be used to bypass due process. When everyone is legally defined as a terrorist, the powers that be can make anyone, citizen or not, disappear at any given time without any public notation. I can’t imagine any legitimate reason for this to be written as law the way it is, there is no “proper” place for a law worded like this to be used outside of a dictatorship.

        To my interpretation, this isn’t vague at all.
