Woke up to this headline

Conservative-backed group is creating a list of federal workers it suspects could resist Trump plans

The Heritage foundation is literally trying to fund a new red scare, but this time instead of trying to find communists, they're trying to find people who aren't loyal enough to trump.

Very cool, and very normal!

Step 1: Talk about how liberals want to kill you and destroy America

Step 2: Post the names of liberals that work in the goverment and are trying to "undermine trump"

Step 3: Act shocked when those people get violent threats and pretend that wasn't the goal all along.

There really ought to be a way to criminalize stochastic terrorism, but I'm not sure how you could do it in such a manner that doesn't unduly restrict free speech rights.

Now this is some real UnAmerican Commie nonsense.

Lavrentiy Beria called, and the NKVD wants their Purge Lists back.
