Supporters of former President Donald J. Trump could be targeted by a police state apparatus that is being wielded against opponents of the Biden administration in advance of next year’s pivotal election.
According to a bone-chilling new report, the FBI has “quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter,” Americans who could cast their vote for the wrong candidate next November as the regime intensifies its war against the “MAGA Republicans” that President Joe Biden has all but openly declared to be enemies of the state.
Revealed in an exclusive Newsweek bombshell, the feds are shifting their focus to Trump supporters in the runup to the election as Biden continues to ratchet up his rhetoric against tens of millions of Americans while his Justice Department is set to prosecute the GOP frontrunner in a D.C. courtroom with the very real possibility that he could be thrown into prison before voters go to the polls.
This @Newsweek story backs everything @RealStevefriend warned us about, and should send chills down your spine. Before the 2024 presidential election the FBI has “quietly created a new category” of domestic terrorists to hunt down: Donald Trump supporters https://t.co/1C51A69b73

According to classified data obtained by the outlet, the “vast majority” of the FBI’s “anti-government” investigations are of Trump supporters.
“The FBI is in an almost impossible position,” an unnamed current FBI official told Newsweek, saying that while the Bureau “is intent on stopping domestic terrorism and any repeat of the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol,” it “must also preserve the Constitutional right of all Americans to campaign, speak freely and protest the government.”
Newsweek notes that a joint report to Congress from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) states “Threats from…DVEs [domestic violent extremists] have increased in the last two years, and any further increases in threats likely will correspond to potential flashpoints, such as high-profile elections and campaigns or contentious current events.”
“Sociopolitical developments—such as narratives of fraud in the recent general election, the emboldening impact of the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and conspiracy theories promoting violence—will almost certainly spur some domestic terrorists to try to engage in violence,” the report concluded, with Newsweek pointing out a very important detail.
“The threats listed in that paragraph are all clearly associated with America’s right and in particular with Trump’s MAGA supporters,” according to the outlet which stated that a restricted post-J6 FBI report “shifted the definition of AGAAVE (‘anti-government, anti-authority violent extremism’) from “furtherance of ideological agendas” to ‘furtherance of political and/or social agendas.’ For the first time, such groups could be so labeled because of their politics.”
“It was a subtle change, little noticed, but a gigantic departure for the Bureau. Trump and his army of supporters were acknowledged as a distinct category of domestic violent extremists, even as the FBI was saying publicly that political views were never part of its criteria to investigate or prevent domestic terrorism,” the author, veteran investigative reporter William Arkin wrote.
“Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country,” Biden tweeted last September on the day that he stood in front of a blood-red background flanked by two armed U.S. Marines at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall and delivered one of darkest, most disturbing addresses by a U.S president in the nation’s history.
Remember Joe Biden’s despotic “blood red” speech in Philadelphia last August when he ranted that “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic” and said it’s the duty of citizens’ to “confront extremists.” /2 pic.twitter.com/EDicYphmuv

“The threat posed by domestic violent extremists is persistent, evolving, and deadly. The FBI’s goal is to detect and stop terrorist attacks, and our focus is on potential criminal violations, violence and threats of violence. Anti-government or anti-authority violent extremism is one category of domestic terrorism, as well as one of the FBI’s top threat priorities,” the FBI said in a statement to Newsweek. “We are committed to protecting the safety and constitutional rights of all Americans and will never open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity, including a person’s political beliefs or affiliations.”
There were those who warned of the dangers of the “war on terror” in the early post-9/11 period, and that it could one day be turned inward, but they were laughed at as paranoid conspiracy theorists because such a thing could never happen in America.
