"Fears are mounting that Kash Patel, an outspoken Maga disciple and newly appointed director of the FBI, will make good on past comments about crackdowns on anti-fascists and Black Lives Matter protesters.
For years, Donald Trump has also called for designating 'Antifa' or more broadly, all anti-fascist activists – as an official domestic terrorist organization. While that has not materialized into official policy, Trump’s top national security leaders at the FBI, CIA and the Pentagon are all hardcore loyalists intent on carrying out his political agenda.
Even from inside the FBI, an anonymous agent has publicly warned that the domestic counter-terrorism strategy could switch from inquiries against the hyper-violent far right to leftwing protest movements."
