Repression update #12: Trump goes full Nazi on perceived enemies

 
Top headline:  Associated Press
Headline: New York Times

Luke Broadwater reports:
In the span of a few hours on Wednesday, President Trump threatened to jail the Democratic governor of Illinois and the mayor of Chicago; suggested a Democratic senator should be punished for questioning his administration; described left-wing protesters in Portland as “insurrectionists”; and endorsed out-of-state troops descending on Democratic-run cities. 
Increasingly, Mr. Trump has made clear what he views as the top threat against America: what he calls the “enemy from within.” And his definition of that enemy is expanding, particularly as he looks to deploy the military on the streets of American cities. 
“He is escalating his rhetoric to focus on domestic enemies, and it’s pretty open-ended,” said Robert A. Pape, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago.
